The new senators are elected by the same Australian people on the same day when they voted for members of the House of Representatives.

The new senators have their own mandate to pursue whatever they have campaigned on, and if that means obstructing bills coming from the House of Representatives, it is then for the government to negotiate with the senators.

The Senate has a legitimate "Counter-Mandate" to NOT rubber stamp every
Bill presented before them.
Exactly like it was designed to do.
