Compare how Don Farrell and Murray Watt voted on assisting Australians trying to return from overseas
Don Farrell
Australian Labor Party Senator for SA since July 2016
Murray Watt
Australian Labor Party Senator for Queensland since July 2016
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should assist returning Australians stranded overseas due to COVID-19 by, for example, increasing the numbers of permitted arrivals under international flight caps and targetting price gauging so that return airline tickets are affordable
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?
