Compare how James Paterson and Eric Abetz voted on increasing parliamentary entitlements for current MPs and Senators
James Paterson
Liberal Party Senator for Victoria since March 2016
Eric Abetz
Former Liberal Party Senator for Tasmania February 1994 – May 2022
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?
