Compare how Tony Burke and Fiona Scott voted on increasing or removing the Government debt limit
Tony Burke
Australian Labor Party Representative for Watson since October 2004
Fiona Scott
Former Liberal Party Representative for Lindsay September 2013 – July 2016
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should increase the limit on the total amount of Commonwealth stock and securities that may be on issue at any time (known as the 'debt limit') or remove the limit altogether
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?
