Compare how Simon Birmingham and Steve Fielding voted on increasing parliamentary entitlements for current MPs and Senators
Simon Birmingham
Liberal Party Senator for SA since May 2007
Steve Fielding
Former Family First Party Senator for Victoria July 2005 – June 2011
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal governmnet should increase parliamentary entitlements for current MPs and Senators, such as legitimate expenditure, salary packages, superannuation entitlements and/or other allowances like the printing allowance
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?
