Compare how James Paterson and Paul Scarr voted on no new fossil fuels projects
James Paterson
Liberal Party Senator for Victoria since March 2016
Paul Scarr
Liberal Party Senator for Queensland since July 2019
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?
