Anthony Albanese’s Labor won a thin majority in the House of Representatives in last month’s election, but will probably have to negotiate to get their agenda through the Senate.
Nearly a month after the 22 May poll, the Australian Electoral Commission declared the Senate results in New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia on Monday, after gradually confirming successful senators in other states in recent days. The final results have given Labor just 26 of the 76 seats in the Senate, short of the 39 votes the government needs for a majority.
