That crossbench is made up of 9 greens, Xenophone and a DLP senator. Certainly Labor won't control the senate, but it's still a long way off the Liberals controlling it. If Labor + the Greens have 38 seats (which would be a loss of 2, which is well within projections currently as it is very hard to pick up senate seats and only 36/76 are up for reelection currently anyway) then they wouldn't be able to pass any legislation without either the Greens or Labor agreeing. If they pick up 3, they would need Xenophon or the DLP to agree.
