Compare how Mitch Fifield and Bill Heffernan voted on ending illegal logging
Mitch Fifield
Former Liberal Party Senator for Victoria March 2004 – September 2019
Bill Heffernan
Former Liberal Party Senator for NSW September 1996 – May 2016
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should introduce legislation to end illegal logging and prevent the importation of timber that has been illegally harvested.
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?
