It would take a long string of Tory governments - or Liberal respect of the voting habits of all regions (never happen) for the balance to swing. However, putting 18 tories in now is 18 fewer seats the Liberals could stack the Senate with should they persist in the coup.

Any way you slice it, the Senate needs a massive overhaul.
