Apparently in the Senate whoever we vote in on Saturday doesn't officially take their seat until June 2011, so there's every chance if Labor gets re-elected they can push the filter legislation through before all these new Greens seats are filled.

While that's true, the Government has also committed to doing nothing
until the State A-G's have finished a review of RC, expected to take 12
months from their next meeting, which will be in November.

So it's unlikely that Labor will be ready with new legislation until the
new Senate is in place.

Most likely outcome from the Territory Senate elections is to continue
the status quo, with the exception of one ACT Senate seat which is
on a knife-edge between Lib and Green (and which therefore won't make
a lot of difference to this issue, because both parties have committed to
block it)
