Compare how Lee Rhiannon and David Johnston voted on an emissions reduction fund
Lee Rhiannon
Former Australian Greens Senator for NSW July 2011 – August 2018
David Johnston
Former Liberal Party Senator for WA July 2002 – May 2016
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should introduce an emissions reduction fund so it can buy domestic greenhouse gas emissions reductions and offsets by reverse auction. This is a key part of the Coalition Government's Direct Action policy.
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?
