Compare how Meryl Swanson and Sarah Henderson voted on requiring every native title claimant to sign land use agreements
Meryl Swanson
Australian Labor Party Representative for Paterson since July 2016
Sarah Henderson
Liberal Party Senator for Victoria since September 2019
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that all native title claimants need to sign an Indigenous Land Use Agreement before the Agreement can be registered by the Native Title Registrar (agreements like this let, for example, mining companies mine in an area covered by native title)
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?
