Compare how David Van and Don Farrell voted on stopping tax avoidance or aggressive tax minimisation
David Van
Independent Senator for Victoria since June 2023
Don Farrell
Australian Labor Party Senator for SA since July 2016
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should make it harder for individuals and corporations to avoid or aggressively minimise their Australian tax obligations and take part in international efforts to keep track of these individuals and corporations by sharing income and asset information
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?
