Not Shorten, and not Plibersek, that's for sure.

Wong's in the Senate. The leader has to be a member of the House.

that's not actually a rule ....

It's much harder for the Leader of the Opposition to ask questions of the Prime Minister in Question Time if the LOTO is in the Senate. The Prime Minister is always a member of the House, to the extent that Senators that become PM must resign from the Senate and be elected to the House in a by-election. Example: Gorton in 1968.

We can nominate good Senators, but it is likely that the LOTO will be a member of the House, so we should look there first.

I don't disagree with that, but the fact remains that if they wanted a senator as leader of the party they can do it.

Newman was leader of the opposition and he wasn't even a member of parliament yet.
