- "Senator On-Line's goal is to bring Australian politics directly to the citizens. How will we do this? We formed a political party, Senator On-Line (SOL), whose goal is to let you directly vote in the Senate.

Every Australian voter will be able to vote on our party's website for or against a piece legislation, then each SOL senator will follow the results of the citizens' vote...

All poll members will then be able to vote, suggest an issue and have access to the Forum..."
