Compare how Sarah Henderson and Matt Williams voted on increasing protection of Australia's fresh water
Sarah Henderson
Liberal Party Senator for Victoria since September 2019
Matt Williams
Former Liberal Party Representative for Hindmarsh September 2013 – July 2016
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should introduce legislation that increases the protection of Australia's fresh water resources, including its river and groundwater systems
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?
