@AuSenate A question: in a dbl-dissolution, which of the newly elected senators sit for just 1 term, & which for the full 6 yrs?
@aidanbwilson You'll find more information on this in Odgers' Australian Senate Practice http://bit.ly/1bKuA9o

@AuSenate So, the AEC counts once for half-quota to elect all senators, then again for full-quota to class senators as full or half term? -
@aidanbwilson Yes - that's the method Odgers' suggests -
@AuSenate Sounds reasonable. Thanks! -
@aidanbwilson You're most welcome

@AuSenate Makes sense. If they just allocated full terms from the top, then the minor parties would all only get half-term.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
