I agree - she (generally speaking) seems open to finding out more about issues.

The other person who impressed me was Ricky Muir, from the motoring enthusiasts party who won a senate seat with 0.51% of the vote (via preference deals)[1].

He was very inarticulate (yes, that's not a typo - he was bad at public speaking), but he actually read about things! And voted in ways that made sense! I turned right around on him - I thought it was terrible he got in and it turned out quite well.

Rex Patrick is another senator who seems to do a good job.
