Compare how Lisa Chesters and Dave Sharma voted on increasing state and territory environmental approval powers
Lisa Chesters
Australian Labor Party Representative for Bendigo since September 2013
Dave Sharma
Liberal Party Senator for NSW since November 2023
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should give greater environmental approval powers to state and territory governments by creating a single environmental assessment and approval process for nationally protected matters that is administered at state and territory level
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?
