Compare how James Paterson and Matthew Canavan voted on a Royal Commission into Violence and Abuse against People with Disability
James Paterson
Liberal Party Senator for Victoria since March 2016
Matthew Canavan
Liberal National Party Senator for Queensland since July 2014
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should establish a Royal Commission to investigate and report on violence and abuse against people with disability in light of the the disproportionately high number of reports of abuse of Australians with a disability by people who are meant to care for them
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?
