Rather imaginative interpretation, considering the Coalition have lost Senators to One Nation in three states and the ALP have gained seats.

This is a toughy. While I'd like to see a more diverse senate, giving the antisemite Rhiannon a 6 year term is 6 years too much.

Agree

Surely there are some more fundamental issues of democracy here that should be placed above who you want to see in power?

The ALP is supporting it now, and not without a big dose of self interest.

Last time, in 1987, it was Labor and the Democrats supporting it at the expense of the coalition and other parties.
