You mean the reduction from 151 to 150? That’s just random fluctuation due to more states rounding down than rounding up. A proper expansion takes place when you increase the size of the Senate and it then immediately causes an increase in the House. The bare minimum would be about 25 seats.

True. I say we make the ACT a state* 😂 *yes i know that'd involve a referendum, which will probs never happen

I think there’s a case for the ACT to at least have senators in proportion to Tasmania which would be like 7-8.

Yes please!
