Backdated - Senate Calculations

(Chances are you don't care, even if you are looking at this page. Still, I enjoyed it.)

Assuming everyone in Australia voted above the line (and that, sadly, is almost accurate), and not counting ungrouped independants (for whom you MUST vote below the line), I have taken the senate statistics from the Australian Electoral Commission website and plugged them into Antony Green's senate calculator.

This allocates preferences based on the group tickets to give a prediction on the Australian Senate. If, as usual, > 95% of people voted above the line then this model will be > 95% accurate. Of the 76 seats in the senate, 36 carry over from 2007 (six from each state, none from either territory). Of the remaining 40, only 10 are in doubt, with 30 seats being known on first preferences alone (i.e. regardless of whether or not people voted above or below the line). The actual results will not be known for weeks, but this should be a reliable guide:
