Compare how Matt Thistlethwaite and Penny Wong voted on protecting threatened forest and bushland habitats
Matt Thistlethwaite
Australian Labor Party Representative for Kingsford Smith since September 2013
Penny Wong
Australian Labor Party Senator for SA since July 2002
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?
