Compare how Penny Wong and David Van voted on creating a federal Anti-Corruption Commission
Penny Wong
Australian Labor Party Senator for SA since July 2002
David Van
Independent Senator for Victoria since June 2023
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should create a national integrity commission similar to the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) to detect, investigate and prevent corruption across all Commonwealth departments and agencies
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?
