To restore the Senate’s intended role as a house of review and prevent the long-term concentration of power, a constitutional amendment will be introduced. This amendment will trigger an automatic half-Senate election upon any party or coalition securing a majority in both houses of parliament.

 

This mechanism acts as a self-correcting feature within the system, compelling a government that achieves a double majority to immediately seek a fresh electoral mandate specifically on the question of unchecked power. It transforms a double majority from a gateway to unilateral governance into a prompt for a democratic referendum, ensuring voters have the final say on the concentration of legislative authority. This reform reinforces foundational principles of checks and balances, deterring extreme agendas and placing a critical democratic safeguard directly into the hands of the electorate.
