From the results, Just.Equal Australia developed questions that have been put to political parties. To see our questions, and the responses from parties and candidates thus far, check out our Election Campaign page here.

Here is a reminder of who voted for that Bill, or parts of it, when it was last debated in February. Click on the image to open up an enlarged version on our webpage.
