I do agree that we could switch to an elected Senate if we went through the amending procedure. But as I said earlier, if a consultation is held and the Prime Minister is confronted with a list of the wishes of the voters as to who should represent them in the Senate, he will feel a moral and political obligation to respect that as well, in the great majority of circumstances. So I think the concern that he will then whimsically go for somebody he prefers is not very likely to happen, because the politics of that would be so difficult for him.
