Compare how Mathias Cormann and Sean Edwards voted on Australia's timber industry
Mathias Cormann
Former Liberal Party Senator for WA June 2007 – November 2020
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 protect Australia's logging industry and the jobs it represents
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?
