Compare how Maria Kovacic and Murray Watt voted on the federal government calling for a ceasefire in Gaza (2023-24)
Maria Kovacic
Liberal Party Senator for NSW since May 2023
Murray Watt
Australian Labor Party Senator for Queensland since July 2016
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the Australian Government should call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire to end the humanitarian disaster in Gaza that began in October 2023, which is now the subject of an ongoing case in the International Court of Justice (ICJ), in which South Africa is accusing Israel of genocide
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?
