Compare how Cathy O'Toole and John McVeigh voted on stopping people who arrive by boat from ever coming to Australia
Cathy O'Toole
Former Australian Labor Party Representative for Herbert July 2016 – May 2019
John McVeigh
Former Liberal Party Representative for Groom July 2016 – September 2020
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should ban people who arrive in Australia by boat and claim asylum from ever being able to apply for an Australian visa
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?
