Compare how Barry O'Sullivan and Brian Burston voted on ending immigration detention on Nauru
Barry O'Sullivan

Brian Burston
Former United Australia Party Senator for NSW June 2018 – July 2019
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should close its Nauru Regional Processing Centre and stop all Nauru-based processing of people's claims for asylum
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?
