Compare how Don Farrell and Carol Brown voted on no new fossil fuels projects
Don Farrell
Australian Labor Party Senator for SA since July 2016
Carol Brown
Australian Labor Party Senator for Tasmania since August 2005
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should ban all new fossil fuel projects (oil, gas, coal) (for those votes that relate specifically to new thermal coal mines, see the policy "for banning new thermal coal mines")
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?
