Compare how Matt O'Sullivan and Rex Patrick voted on assisting the Arts sector through the coronavirus pandemic
Matt O'Sullivan
Liberal Party Senator for WA since July 2019
Rex Patrick
Former Independent Senator for SA August 2020 – May 2022
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should develop a specific Coronavirus (COVID-19) response package for the Arts and Entertainment sector as many workers in that sector are ineligible for the JobKeeper Payment
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?
