Since Senators are appointed on the PM's recomendation the whole house is full of party members with no desire to stop any legislation that the HOC passes. And if they do get riled up, the PM can just appoint more so that his party has the majority (as the exact number of senators is not defined in the constitution), that is what is wrong with the system.
