Compare how Ursula Stephens and Russell Trood voted on federal government action on animal & plant extinctions
Ursula Stephens
Former Australian Labor Party Senator for NSW July 2002 – June 2014
Russell Trood
Former Liberal Party Senator for Queensland July 2005 – June 2011
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government needs to support research and conservation initiatives that aim to put a stop to the current trajectory of animal and plant extinctions in Australia
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?
