Finance Bill 2020: Committee Stage
I call Senator Higgins, who wants to speak to the section.
Joe O'Reilly
Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 440 of 443 decisive votes (0 abstentions excluded). Read it as a government-or-opposition indicator rather than a measure of influence — the figure is near 100% for members supporting the government of the day and near 0% for those opposing it.
