Would prefer no upper house at all.
Then who ever wins government don't have to pander to minority groups as it 
is now.
Works well in Queensland. Then Carp can ban uranium and the next time round 
if
the Libs win they can up do the ban.

It does look like M Roberts though who is for uranium may topple Carps after
the election, she has the numbers to do just that. She'll have to move 
against Carps because
Carps wants her out. A showdown is coming after the election.
