Midst the spill the senate became subject of conversation on a live broadcast from parliament house, Anthony Green highlighted all the crossbenchers will need to be reelected in this next election, and that new laws will not see that take place, 6 greens face re election too any one know just who will be standing? from what party, thinking of current senators seeking re election, how will it change the chook pen?

Dear Belly,

You've got to watch "Four Corners" tonight. It's
going to be on what happened during the past week.
Should be interesting.

Also, watch "Q and A" - Pauline Hanson and Bob Katter are
going to be on the panel. We'll hear more about the
Senate then. As well as their interpretations of the
past week.

Interesting times ahead - that's for sure.
Who will remain after the next election? I guess we'll
have to wait and see.

Foxy will watch both nearly always do, not well at present and while interested in just who has to stand for re election in the chook pen, not sure how to find out, someone know? Anthony Green forecast an easier senate to get along with but how easy? my view we need to tighten it up, if I can not get my wish, abolish it, stands look forward to opinions maybe even a list?

Hi Belly,

The only senate seats that are contentious are located in the States, the 2 each from the ACT and NT are safe for the ALP/LNP. Of the 36 state seats up for grabs, 18 are vulnerable. 4 each for ALP, LNP, Greens and 4 Independents plus one each for Katter Qld and Hanson WA. Its unlikely either major party will control the Senate. The ALP has to hold their 13 and win an extra 13, the LNP hold 14 and win an extra 9. That's impossible, from a possible 40 seats.

Given that the Coalition is now just as dysfunctional as the Labor party, more conservatives, whether AC or independents, need to voted into the senate.
