| | Australian legislative election, 2004 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The election result was a triumph for Howard, who in December 2004 became Australia's second-longest serving Prime Minister, and who saw the election result as a vindication of his policies, particularly his decision to join in the 2003 invasion of Iraq. | | | Legislative elections were held in Australia on 9 October 2004. | | | The Australian Democrats polled their lowest vote since their creation in 1977, and lost the three Senate seats they were defending. |

| | Should the Australian Electoral System be Changed? (Current Issues Brief 10 1998-99) |
| | Before this change, the fact that five were to be elected in half-Senate elections meant that it was always possible that one party could gain a majority of Senate seats decided in a particular year-in 1955, for instance the Coalition won 17 of 30 seats across the nation. | | | One unanticipated consequence of the 1948 change to proportional representation for Senate elections, has been the propensity of many voters to vote for one party in lower house elections and for another for the upper house. | | | Despite the near-defeat of ACT Liberal Senator Margaret Reid in 1998, the twenty ACT and Northern Territory Senate contests since 1975 have seen half the seats won by the Coalition and half by the ALP. |
