Compare how Penny Wong and Dio Wang voted on a Free Trade Agreement with China
Penny Wong
Australian Labor Party Senator for SA since July 2002
Dio Wang
Former Palmer United Party Senator for WA July 2014 – May 2016
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should enter into a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with China to create more favourable trading conditions between China and Australia
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?
