Compare how Tim Watts and Dave Sharma voted on increasing transparency of big business by making information public
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 the federal govenment should increase transparency in big business (that is, companies with an income equal or more than $100 million/year or, alternatively, $200 million/year) by making certain information public, including their total income and how much tax they paid
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?
