Compare how Sam Birrell and Tony Burke voted on market-led approaches to protecting biodiversity
Sam Birrell
National Party Representative for Nicholls since May 2022
Tony Burke
Australian Labor Party Representative for Watson since October 2004
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should address the destruction of Australia's biodiversity by commodifying the protection of natural environments (e.g., issuing certificates or credits for biodiversity protection that can then be sold on the market)
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?
