The day that was, Sunday 22 May
That’s where we will leave the live blog for Sunday.
We will have more election wash-up for you on Monday, as Anthony Albanese is sworn in as prime minister, and his core team is also sworn in as he gets ready to head off to the Quad meeting.
Here’s where things currently stand:
- Labor has not quite reached a majority of seats in its own right but is edging closer to the target.
- Senior Liberal Simon Birmingham has delivered a scathing review of where his party went wrong in the election, stating the delay for legalising same-sex marriage and the national energy guarantee were the starting points.
- Outgoing treasurer, Josh Frydenberg, has not yet conceded in Kooyong, stating it is still mathematically possible on postal votes.
- Outgoing prime minister, Scott Morrison, has tearfully addressed the Horizon church in his electorate on his last day in the top job.
- Leading right figures within the Liberal and National parties have claimed the Coalition was too moderate in policies.
- Labor MP for Griffith, Terri Butler, conceded defeat to the Greens’ Max Chandler-Mather in Griffith.
- Liberal MP for Goldstein, Tim Wilson, conceded defeat to independent Zoe Daniel.
- Outgoing Indigenous affairs minister, Ken Wyatt, conceded defeat to Labor’s Tania Lawrence in Hasluck.
- Former Labor senator Kristina Keneally conceded defeat to independent Dai Le in the seat of Fowler.
Good night, and stay safe.

Independent Dai Le, who is going to be the new member for Fowler, is on Sky News.
She says her roots are planted in the community: “I grew up, I live there, I work there.”
She says she was told that beating Labor would be “Mt Everest” but “I really wanted to fight for my community”.
“I didn’t think I could take a big giant [Labor and Kristina Keneally] down.”
She says voters were “insulted”, and couldn’t bring themselves to vote Labor despite being lifelong Labor voters, after Keneally was parachuted into the seat.
She also paid tribute to the Vietnamese community who turned out to support her during the campaign.
“It’s a grassroots movement ... that has got us to where we have got today.”
She says she has yet to hear from Keneally, despite Keneally tweeting out her concession.
