And the system that's being used is called a closed list proportional system.

So that means that voters cast their ballots for parties rather than individuals, unless you're voting for an independent candidate.

So the total number of Senate members is going up from 60 to 96.

Now, the added layer is a formula called the DeHondt system, which is designed to ensure the proportion of votes cast relates roughly to the number of returned members of the Senate, MSs.

All of this basically can be summarised in one word.

Yes, that is the answer to the question.

The system is designed to share the votes according to the proportion of votes in a constituency.

So even if the Greens get the biggest share, any other parties that get a decent share could also return a candidate or two.

I think that there's two answers to this question.

Listen, it would be controversial casting, but I think Daniel Day-Lewis could pull off either part.

It would involve controversial makeup.

No one's denying.

It could be deemed problematic.

But the guy is a chameleon.

You've got to feel like he'd do his research, he'd work hard behind the scenes, and he'd do a very, very eerie impression.

Like, he'd do a bang-on impression of both of us.

That would be a controversial costume as well.

Or would it deepen it?

I have a very obvious actor who looks like me to the extent that we've done stuff together based on this premise.

Jason Mantzoukas.
