Compare how Russell Trood and Alan Ferguson voted on protecting threatened forest and bushland habitats
Russell Trood

Alan Ferguson
Former Deputy President Senator for SA August 2008 – June 2011
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should protect threatened forest and bushland habitats from logging.
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?
