WA Senate election becomes ever more of a lucky dip

The end result of the poll rerun is proving difficult to predict, and the political stakes are extremely high

Labors lead candidate says voters cant trust his party, the Palmer United party (PUP) candidates have gone missing, the Greens candidate is DJing, 75 people get to vote twice and the whole thing is an unprecedented rerun because the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) messed up last time. Oh, and it could have a critical impact on how the government gets its legislation through the upper house. The West Australian Senate poll would have jumped the shark, if the state wasnt culling them.

The outcome is extremely difficult to predict. Most observers, asked to hazard a guess, say the Coalition could get three of the six Senate seats, Labor two and the Greens one.
