Compare how Sue Lines and David Smith voted on more scrutiny of the Australian Defence Force
Sue Lines
President Senator for WA since July 2022
David Smith
Australian Labor Party Representative for Bean since May 2019
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that there should be more scrutiny or oversight of the actions and powers of the Australian Defence Force (ADF), both within Australia and overseas
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?
