The Senate is actually the more representative house. My posts at http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=14427&page=0 give the voting percentages, the number of seats won and the percentage of seats won in various House and Senate elections since 1970. They show that the Senate has a better fit with how people vote than the House.
