Compare how Alan Ferguson and Barnaby Joyce voted on equal treatment for all couples
Alan Ferguson
Former Deputy President Senator for SA August 2008 – June 2011
Barnaby Joyce
National Party Representative for New England since December 2017
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that all couples should attract the same rights, entitlements and benefits under Australian law in both the public and private sector, whether they are de facto or married, heterosexual or homosexual
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?
