Compare how Simon Birmingham and Ruth Webber voted on public transport
Simon Birmingham
Liberal Party Senator for SA since May 2007
Ruth Webber
Former Australian Labor Party Senator for WA July 2002 – June 2008
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should increase funding for public transport within and between Australia's major urban centres and prioritise it over funding for private transport infrastructure projects
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?
