Major party Senators are highly partisan actors, their strong
partisanship is partly a result of their backgrounds in central
office work in their political parties, and also a product of their
election by means of a de facto list system of proportional
representation, with centralised selection of lists. If the
Senate's electoral system makes major party Senators heavily
dependent on party, it also largely frees them of accountability to
the electoral district they represent. Due to their
pre-parliamentary careers and the influence of electoral rules,
Senators are available, in several senses, to perform key tasks,
both prior to and during the formal election campaign, in assisting
their parties to secure the maximum number of House of
Representatives seats. This role, now institutionalised in the
major parties and referred to as 'duty Senatorship', is an
important aspect of electoral professionalism in Australian
political parties. But how professional really are major party
senators? Do they adequately serve their party in the pursuit of
lower house seats, the accumulation of which determines which major
party forms government? What distractions exist which may take away
from this electoral professional role?
