Barnaby Joyce believes that in the Senate, the government would “have to come to me on each piece of legislation and say ‘what are your views?‘
They're not having to do that with independents in the Senate atm and it's quite likely that a future Senate would be even easier for Labor.

No one in the media seems to be connecting Labor's determination to have a vote on the Environment legislation before Christmas with setting up a double dissolution trigger.
If the Bill is rejected by the Senate this week, Labor could have a DD trigger by early next year.
