Compare how Tim Watts and Dave Sharma voted on suspending the rules to allow a vote to happen (procedural)
Tim Watts
Australian Labor Party Representative for Gellibrand since September 2013
Dave Sharma
Liberal Party Senator for NSW since November 2023
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that Members of Parliament (MPs) and Senators should vote to suspend standing and sessional orders (that is, the procedural rules of Parliament) so that their colleagues can introduce motions for Parliament to vote on even when the the procedural rules would prevent them from doing so
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?
