Preventative Detention Orders (PDOs)
People who support this policy believe that the police should be able to detain people without charge for a limited period if there is a threat of a terrorist attack or if it is likely that vital evidence will be lost after a terrorist attack takes place.
View on They Vote For You →How each party's members voted
Each bar is 100% of a party's current members in the Senate whom They Vote For You places in one of its seven agreement groups for this policy (its own categories, shown as published). Bars show percentages of members, not vote totals; the number beside each bar is how many members that is. Members They Vote For You says haven't cast enough votes on the policy are counted separately, not in the bars.
