Compare how Simon Birmingham and David Smith voted on the territories being able to legalise euthanasia
Simon Birmingham
Liberal Party Senator for SA since May 2007
David Smith
Australian Labor Party Representative for Bean since May 2019
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the parliaments of the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory should have the power to legalise euthanasia (also known as voluntary assisted dying)
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?
