Procedural fairness
People who support this policy believe that all Australian laws should be subject to procedural fairness requirements so that people can request reasons for government decisions that impact them personally and can appeal those decisions on the basis of whether they were made lawfully.
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.
