Compare how Robert McClelland and Mark Butler voted on carbon farming
Robert McClelland
Former Australian Labor Party Representative for Barton March 1996 – August 2013
Mark Butler
Australian Labor Party Representative for Hindmarsh since May 2019
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should introduce a carbon farming initiative that encourages the farming and timber industries to decrease carbon emissions or to increase carbon storage (known as carbon sequestration)
Now this is where it gets a bit tricky… Two people might vote the same way on votes they both attended, so their votes are 100% in agreement. They might also have voted in a way we’d describe differently when looking at all of one person's votes. If the other person didn’t or couldn’t have attended those votes we leave those out of the comparison. Because that just wouldn’t be fair now, would it?
