Compare how Dave Sharma and Stuart Robert voted on political intervention in research funding grants
Dave Sharma
Liberal Party Senator for NSW since November 2023
Stuart Robert
Former Liberal Party Representative for Fadden November 2007 – May 2023
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should be able to intervene in the research grant process with the Australian Research Council (ARC) by, for example, vetoing certain grant application where considered appropriate
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?
