Compare how Damian Drum and Meryl Swanson voted on increasing the Medicare Levy to pay for the National Disability Insurance Scheme
Damian Drum
Former National Party Representative for Nicholls May 2019 – 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 goverment should fund the Commonwealth’s contribution to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) by increasing the Medicare Levy for all Australians
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?
