Compare how Cathy O'Toole and Sarah Henderson voted on a same-sex marriage plebiscite
Cathy O'Toole

Sarah Henderson

How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should hold a plebiscite (or national vote) on the question of whether the law should be changed to allow same-sex couples to marry
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?
