Compare how Murray Watt and Patrick Dodson voted on decreasing the gender pay gap
Murray Watt
Australian Labor Party Senator for Queensland since July 2016
Patrick Dodson
Former Australian Labor Party Senator for WA April 2016 – January 2024
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should introduce legislation that reduces the gap in income between women and men and ensures both sexes are paid equally well
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?
