Gavin Marshall

Former Australian Labor Party Senator for Victoria May 2016 – July 2019

Voted a mixture of for and against increasing protection of Australia's fresh water

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?
