Overview
- Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's Labor Party has won a second term, securing at least 85 seats, with projections reaching up to 87 in the 150-seat House of Representatives.
- This marks the first time since 2004 that an Australian prime minister has achieved consecutive election victories, surpassing Labor's 1986 record of 86 seats.
- Opposition leader Peter Dutton lost his seat of Dickson, ending his 24-year career in parliament, as Labor flipped 13 Coalition seats and two from the Greens.
- The Coalition's primary vote share fell by over 5% nationwide, leaving the party in disarray and triggering a leadership vacuum after the election loss.
- Teal independents maintained their positions, with Nicolette Boele leading in Bradfield, potentially matching the number of Liberal seats in Greater Sydney.
