Andrew Hastie publicly abstained from voting yes in the 2016 same sex marriage plebiscite

@Lemmon-cloud Thank you for posting this issue - it is always helpful when people flag potential errors in our data so we can address them.

However, in this case, there does not appear to be an error. I checked the official House of Representatives Hansard and it shows Mr Hastie voting Yes to giving the Plebiscite (Same-Sex Marriage) Bill 2016 a second and third reading, which is why he is showing up as a supporter of our policy for a same-sex marriage plebiscite.
