Compare how Gerard Rennick and James Paterson voted on privatising certain government services
Gerard Rennick
Independent Senator for Queensland since August 2024
James Paterson
Liberal Party Senator for Victoria since March 2016
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should give the private sector control over running and managing some of its services (such as public welfare, aged care and visa services) by either outsourcing or privatisation
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?
