Order!

Senators have been elected in accordance with the 30th General Election.

As required by section 42 of the Constitution, new senators shall now swear in using either the Oath or Affirmation of Allegiance as prescribed by the Schedule of the Constitution.

The seats for the following states were not up for election, and these Senators should refrain from trying to select a state or swear in, as they have already done so:

• Victoria (SmugDemoness)
• Western Australia (Tbyrn21)
• Queensland (Lady_Aya)

Senators elected during the last election shall also pick a state to represent. The rule for picking a state is "first come, first serve." All other states not mentioned above are available.

OATH

I, A.B., do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to the Commonwealth of Australia according to law. SO HELP ME GOD!

AFFIRMATION

I, A.B., do solemnly and sincerely affirm and declare that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to the Commonwealth of Australia according to law.

Note: Replace 'A.B.' with your reddit username.
