Compare how Judith Adams and David Feeney voted on a character test for Australian visas
Judith Adams
Former Liberal Party Senator for WA July 2005 – March 2012
David Feeney
Former Australian Labor Party Representative for Batman September 2013 – February 2018
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should impose a character test on all non-citizens holding or applying for an Australian visa which would give the minister the power to cancel or refuse a visa under certain character-related circumstances as set out in the relevant legislation
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?
