Compare how Steve Irons and Tony Burke voted on increasing protection of Australia's fresh water
Steve Irons
Former Liberal Party Representative for Swan November 2007 – May 2022
Tony Burke
Australian Labor Party Representative for Watson since October 2004
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should introduce legislation that increases the protection of Australia's fresh water resources, including its river and groundwater systems
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?
