Compare how Carol Brown and Chris Evans voted on increasing political transparency
Carol Brown
Australian Labor Party Senator for Tasmania since August 2005
Chris Evans
Former Australian Labor Party Senator for WA July 1993 – April 2013
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should increase transparency requirements for political parties (for example, requiring full and prompt disclosure of any political donations on easy-to-search public websites)
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?
