It's called "Senator Online":

I couldn't tell what they stand for from the site, although the word "progressive" was mentioned, and one of their candidates was previously in the Australian Democrats.

DICKIE: I think you're onto something there ~ I thought there was an oddly American flavour to the site. Do the people in the crowd look like dinky di Aussies to you?????

Took the electoral commission a while to verify that they had 20 members willing to say that's what they are but they got there in the end. At least they confirmed that 19 of the 20 were. Heard one of them on the radio the other day and when asked if his religious views would interfere with his voting according to their rules he replied that they would not. Wether that suggests that they might be a religious group I'm not sure. Anyway I won't be voting for them as it is all too vague.

Sounds like a splurge from our good friends, the Americans.' Vote for us and get a set of steak knives free' . Not much content in their outlays. Just vote for us and we will deliver our promises after we are elected. Some things come to mind after reading, These are:-
Family First
Democrats
Holy Brethren
It seems a bit late for them to chant the mantra. Exactly the same as John Howard.

no never heard of them, but my question is, how did you find these strange people zuchini....? You must be a good googler,.... lol.
I can see that they tend to offer a bit of transparency by detailing more information on the net regarding new bills but other than that not much else, i though we had a thing called the media to put stuff in the public domain regarding new legislation being passed through the senate.
dunno....

Never heard of them.
And the only thing I know about the Democrats is that they used to popular until they gave us GST.
Whenever the word "progressive" is mentioned be careful: it often means they don't actually stand for anything!
