Labor will govern in majority with 77 seats after 21 electorates flipped during the election. The crossbench has doubled to 16, with seven new independents. This includes six self-identified teals.

There was a 5% swing against the Coalition nationally, but the swing in many seats was far larger. Almost half of the seats that flipped were previously considered safe or fairly safe. Five of those were won by independents.
