Compare how Meryl Swanson and Joanne Ryan voted on a referendum on the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice
Meryl Swanson
Australian Labor Party Representative for Paterson since July 2016
Joanne Ryan
Australian Labor Party Representative for Lalor since September 2013
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that there should be a referendum on the question of whether the Constitution should be amended to include a requirement for an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to federal parliament, such as that envisaged by the Uluru Statement from the Heart
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?
