Compare how Joe Bullock and Alex Gallacher voted on landholders' right to say no to mining and gas exploration
Joe Bullock

Alex Gallacher
Former Australian Labor Party Senator for SA July 2011 – August 2021
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?
