Despite winning the Australian election, the Coalition still does not have a majority in the Senate. If the government wants to pass legislation in the Senate, such as its tax cuts package, it needs to either gain the support of Labor, the Greens, or a combination of crossbench votes from One Nation, Centre Alliance or Jacqui Lambie.
If all 76 senators are present, 39 are needed to pass legislation, and 38 are needed to block.
The following voting calculator lets you compare different voting situations in the Senate. For simplicity’s sake it assumes all politicians are present at the vote.
