Compare how Christopher Back and Matt Thistlethwaite voted on protecting threatened forest and bushland habitats
Christopher Back
Former Liberal Party Senator for WA March 2009 – July 2017
Matt Thistlethwaite
Australian Labor Party Representative for Kingsford Smith since September 2013
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?
