A joint sitting can only occur if the 'trigger' bills again pass the House and are rejected by the new Senate

If the senate amends the bills, can they still go to a joint sitting or does the process start again?

Same bill, yes - but there's scope for disputed amendments to also be considered - see last paragraph of section 57
