Tasmanian Labor Senator Lisa Singh is considering her political future after being relegated to bottom spot on the party's Senate ticket for the next election.

Tasmanian Senator Lisa Singh is considering her political future after being snubbed again on the Labor Party's election ticket.

The unaligned senator has been relegated to the challenging bottom spot of Labor's ticket for the next federal poll, with three factional picks placed ahead of her.

However, Liberal assistant minister Richard Colbeck has avoided an embarrassing repeat of his 2016 downgrade, taking out top spot on his party's ticket following endorsements from high-profile powerbrokers.
