Compare how David Bushby and Sean Edwards voted on a Free Trade Agreement with China
David Bushby

Sean Edwards
Former Liberal Party Senator for SA July 2011 – May 2016
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should enter into a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with China to create more favourable trading conditions between China and 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?
