"The new senate doesn't sit until July 1 next year, so no change in numbers until then.
If Labor rejects the abolition of the carbon tax or mining tax, which were clear and unambiguous policies of the lnp, then there could be a halt until the new senate comes in."
Yep! They were crystal clear.
AND given that knowledge, the people voted to MAKE SURE the coalition didn't have the power in the senate.
Couldn't you argue that the people (by voting in such a broad senate representation) wanted to make sure that the new government would have to negotiate with a variety of viewpoints?
There are 2 houses of parliament for exactly this reason.
