Compare how Helen Coonan and Mary Fisher voted on increasing marine conservation
Helen Coonan
Former Liberal Party Senator for NSW July 1996 – August 2011
Mary Fisher
Former Liberal Party Senator for SA June 2007 – August 2012
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should introduce legislation and regulations that protect and conserve Australia's marine ecosystems such as the Great Barrier Reef
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?
