Compare how Sophie Scamps and Meryl Swanson voted on encouraging Australian-based industry
Sophie Scamps
Independent Representative for Mackellar since May 2022
Meryl Swanson
Australian Labor Party Representative for Paterson since July 2016
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should encourage Australian-based industry and secure the jobs these industries create by, for example, providing incentives for companies to stay in Australia (note that there are specific policies in respect to the timber, dairy, shipping, coal, and film & TV industries, which means that votes specific to those subjects are not included here)
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?
