thanks for this timely analysis....it all says to me its time we moved to some form of optional preferential voting for both the House of Reps and most certainly the Senate. If voters did not have to number all boxes to cast a formal ballot and we got rid of voting just 1 above the line what has unfolded again in the Senate line up for 7 September would not be repeated. An even better outcome for democracy would be to have proportional representation also for the House of Representatives. This would allow for more breadth of views in the lower House and provide a better representation of the whole Australian electorate.
