Compare how Stephen Parry and Stephen Conroy voted on landholders' right to say no to mining and gas exploration
Stephen Parry
Former President Senator for Tasmania July 2014 – November 2017
Stephen Conroy
Former Australian Labor Party Senator for Victoria April 1996 – September 2016
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that landholders, particularly farmers, should be able to say no to mining and gas exploration on their land (in other words, they should be able to lock the gate)
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?
