Labor poised to grow Senate numbers allowing it to pass legislation with only Greens support

Labor is poised to strengthen its influence in the Senate with a growing number of seats, potentially allowing it to pass legislation with only Greens support, overshadowing influential crossbenchers like David Pocock. The Coalition's election defeat could cost its leadership another seat, and Labor is expected to secure at least 28 Senate seats, up from 24, needing only Greens' backing to advance its progressive agenda. Younger candidates like Charlotte Walker are leading in high-stakes races, highlighting a promising future for diverse representation.
