@AboutTheHouse why doesn't the senate have a 'front bench' for ministers /shadow ministers?

and what if there are more ministers than front desks? Also do senators speak from a despatch box too?

No. All senators - including ministers - speak from their own seat

Brandis & Wong?

Their allocated seats are at the main table. So yes - they also speak from their seats http://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/Senate/Seating_Plan …
