go them both for a hundred quid a day

Bush Lawyers,

Rather enjoying the brouhaha surrounding the election of the Senator for Western Australia Rodney Culliton and the [now former] Senator for South Australia Bob Day.
Thought you would have learnt your lesson by now, but be careful what you wish for, Malcolm.
Somebody could do a Bjelke-Petersen on you, just to flip the bird:

The High Court would be shaking their collective heads, saying s.44 looks pretty straight forward.
OK then, the Court could say - do you want us to act as a Court of Disputed Returns?
Sure.
We'll call fresh Senate elections in WA and SA, and see which way the tea-leaves fall.
The Miracle of Democracy.
That alright with you, Rich Dude?

PS.
This could be a nice little earner.
Reckon we should go them both for a hundred quid a day under the little-known s.46:

"Until the Parliament otherwise provides, any person declared by this Constitution to be incapable of sitting as a senator or as a member of the House of Representatives shall, for every day on which he so sits, be liable to pay the sum of one hundred pounds to any person who sues for it in any court of competent jurisdiction."
