Compare how Dave Sharma and Stephen Jones voted on parliament continuing to meet during the COVID-19 pandemic
Dave Sharma
Liberal Party Senator for NSW since November 2023
Stephen Jones
Australian Labor Party Representative for Whitlam since July 2016
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal parliament should continue to sit during the coronavirus pandemic
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?
