MODERATORS

34 yes 19 no

Most of the Coalition. All of Labor. None of the cross-bench.
None of the cross-bench in the Senate. But 4 of the independent MPs.
Cool. I was referring to last night's Senate vote that passed 34-19.
Not a surprise that all of Labor voted yes, given their party policy around caucus solidarity. I'd be interested to see a list of people opposed to this bill behind closed doors.
I've really come to despise Labor's policy of not crossing the floor. I get their desire to show a united front, but it really makes it hard for regular folk to track how the party is shifting if we don't ever see who supports what on an individual level.
