Compare how Tim Watts and Rob Mitchell voted on considering motions on Gaza (2023-24) (procedural)
Tim Watts
Australian Labor Party Representative for Gellibrand since September 2013
Rob Mitchell
Australian Labor Party Representative for McEwen since August 2010
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should suspend the usual procedural rules - known as standing orders - that would otherwise prevent our representatives from considering and voting on motions related to the humanitarian disaster in Gaza that began in October 2023 and which is now the subject of an ongoing case in the International Court of Justice (ICJ), in which South Africa is accusing Israel of genocide
Now this is where it gets a bit tricky… Two people might vote the same way on votes they both attended, so their votes are 100% in agreement. They might also have voted in a way we’d describe differently when looking at all of one person's votes. If the other person didn’t or couldn’t have attended those votes we leave those out of the comparison. Because that just wouldn’t be fair now, would it?
