" Raider you are an idiot, what we have achieved/not achieved has been the fault of the senate, with twit Wong, Wang and others "
Fair enough,but I know what I can and cant deliver,without review.
That's what the senate is;
" This means that the government frequently does not have a majority, or at best has a very small majority, in the Senate. Government legislation and other measures therefore do not always have easy passage in the Senate, but are subject to negotiation and consultation with minor parties and independents, and with the Opposition. The Opposition party or coalition may have sufficient support to have the Senate reject or amend government bills, or undertake activities which do not have the support of the government: for example, to direct committees to inquire into particular government activities, legislation or policy. This political situation in the Senate, together with its democratic election process and its extensive constitutional powers, provides the foundation of the Senate’s role as a check on government."

So to recap,the coalition knew full well what they were going to be up against,and yet they over promised and under delivered.
This makes you and the rest that continually trumpet this governments back flips, back downs ,as " its not their fault,because of the senate", as oxygen thieves,because they knew the game of cards they were playing,unlike you and the electoral spill that follow their line, hook line and sinker.
