Compare how Bob Brown and Mary Fisher voted on unconventional gas mining
Bob Brown
Former Australian Greens Senator for Tasmania July 1996 – June 2012
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 allow companies to mine coal seam (CSG), tight and shale gas
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?
