Everybody check out the Senate results

Look at the party distribution.
Assuming Labor keep the Greens on side, they can match the Coalition. Xenophon tends to lean left, but Family First will run with the Coalition on most things. So we have a squared Senate. Labor will have their work cut out for them trying to attract Nationals votes across the floor without losing the Greens.

On the bright side, Family First aren't exactly fans of work choices. So industrial relations reform might just get through. Environmental reform is practically fucked though. Do Labor need tp pass legislation to sign Kyoto?

What's that got to do with agreements or not? Either way you get paid for the work that you do.

au contraire, either way you get corners cut and shoddy treatment. But i like the law to at least PRETEND that that's not the case.

The law pretends that it's not the case in both instances...
