Compare how Jane Hume and Dean Smith voted on increasing federal government support for childcare
Jane Hume
Liberal Party Senator for Victoria since July 2016
Dean Smith
Liberal Party Senator for WA since May 2012
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should increase financial support for childcare and early childhood eduction by, for example, supporting increased wages for workers and providing grants for not-for-profit community child care initiatives
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?
