Compare how Barnaby Joyce and Michael Ronaldson voted on restricting donations to political parties
Barnaby Joyce
National Party Representative for New England since December 2017
Michael Ronaldson
Former Liberal Party Senator for Victoria July 2005 – February 2016
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should introduce restrictions to the amount and type of donations that political parties can receive in order to prevent corruption or the appearance of corruption in government
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?
