Compare how Dave Sharma and Pat Conaghan voted on doctor-initiated medical transfers for asylum seekers
Dave Sharma
Liberal Party Senator for NSW since November 2023
Pat Conaghan
National Party Representative for Cowper since May 2019
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the Federal Government should pass laws that ensure that people seeking asylum who are being held at offshore processing centres will be transferred to Australia for medical attention if more than one doctor say they need it, unless the Home Affairs Minister rejects it for security reasons
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?
