It appears that the DLP (ie. the decades-old Catholic breakaway from the Labor party) have claimed the 6th Victorian Senate seat, despite polling just under 2 1/4 percent of the vote.
The DLP have 'stolen' what would otherwise have been Julian McGauran's seat (or, possibly, a fourth ALP seat) through preferences from (amongst others) One Nation, the Christian Democrats, Family First, the Liberal Democrats, the Shooters & Fishers and the Liberal party.
Fascinating stuff...
