Compare how Christopher Back and Sean Edwards voted on the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA)
Christopher Back
Former Liberal Party Senator for WA March 2009 – July 2017
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 fund and maintain the Australian Renewable Energy Agency, or ARENA, as an independent body that manages the government's renewable energy programs
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?
