Comment:
At the 2016 election, the Coalition won 2.51 half-Senate quotas, while Labor won 2.19 half-Senate quotas. It therefore
seems almost certain that the Coalition and Labor will each win two seats, which would represent a gain
for Labor. The Greens polled 0.52 half-Senate quotas, and Senator Lee Rhiannon might well have been defeated if 2016 had
been a half-Senate election. She resigned in August 2018 and was succeeded by NSW MLC Mehreen Faruqi. Unless Faruqi improves
on the Greens' 2016 vote, she is in serious danger of defeat. If she does badly, Labor could win three seats, as last
happened in 2007.
Nationals Senator John "Wacka" Williams (who was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2017) has retired at this election. The
Nationals have chosen Perin Davey, chair of Regional Development Australia - Murray, as his replacement. The Liberal
ticket will be headed by disability advocate Holly Hughes (who has twice missed election before) and
Andrew Bragg, head of the Menzies Research Centre Enterprise Policy Institute. Senator Jim Molan, who replaced the Nationals'
Fiona Nash when she fell foul of section 44, has been relegated to fourth spot on the Coalition ticket. This was a defeat for the
party's conservative faction.
On the Labor side, Senator Doug Cameron, a stalwart of the Left, who is the only Labor Senator
facing re-election, has retired. Tony Sheldon of the TWU (right) will head the ticket, with AMWU state secretary Tim Ayres (left) in second spot also
likely to be elected. In the winnable third spot is Jason Yat-sen Li.
On the far right, Senator David Leyonhjelm (LDP) quit in February to contest the NSW state election. He was replaced by
a member of his staff, Duncan Spender. Spender will compete with Brian Burston (ex-One Nation) and
One Nation's candidate Kate McCulloch for the sixth spot. One Nation and the LDP polled 0.51 half-Senate quotas
between them in 2016, so it seems likely
that only them can be elected, and possibly neither. The Coalition can only win three seats if all
the far-right parties lose. The most likely result is therefore one Labor gain at the expense of the far right. But a second
Labor gain, at the expense of the Greens, is also possible, as is a Coalition gain from the far right.
