Isn’t the Senate your upper (smaller, less powerful) house? The Opposition Leader is the leader of the biggest opposition party in the lower (larger, more powerful) house.

Neither the Senate nor the House of Representatives is exclusively “more powerful” overall. But you’re right that the House holding power over revenue and taxation is a closer analogue to the lower house in a parliamentary system so yeah in that way Hakeem Jefferies would be the closest thing to an opposition leader.
