Compare how Simon Birmingham and David Smith voted on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Agreement
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 federal government should support Australia joining the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Agreement, a trade agreement between countries along the rim of the Pacific Ocean, including Canada and New Zealand
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?
