What we need to do is abolish above the line voting in senate elections and have people only need to number 6 or 12 candidates minimum below the line. It would get rid of situations where people like Stephen Fielding got elected to the senate on only 2% of vote. The party which Stephen Fielding represents Family First could get a senate elected in Victoria again at this election.
Both the Tasmanian House of Assembly and ACT Legislative Assembly, have the voting system I would be proposing for the senate. Although they also Robson Rotation of ballot papers.

The sex party's preferences
Sex party 1/2:
...
Greens at 31,32,33
Labor at 34,35,36,37
nationals 40,41
Liberals 42.43.44.45.46.47
No thanks.
That's where your vote ends up, the greens, if not the greens, labor.
Im voting LDP, so my preferences hit a lot of minor parties, including the sex party early on at 7,8 (most minor parties are doing that, preferencing nearly all the other minor parties before the big guys) before hitting the nationals/liberals, I'm not letting my vote get anywhere near Krudd.
