If Saturday’s count points to the final result, Anthony Albanese’s government will not face a hostile upper house

Labor and the Greens will disagree on plenty of issues, but both will have an incentive to ensure success in the next term. And with up to four Greens elected to the House of Representatives, legislation with Greens support will have a handy buffer in the lower house.

A large swing to Labor in Western Australia has put them on course to win three seats, in addition to the incumbent Greens senator. That third Labor seat also comes at the expense of the Liberals. Tammy Tyrrell of the Jacqui Lambie Network is in the box seat to take the third Liberal seat in Tasmania, unseating veteran Liberal senator Eric Abetz.

While Seselja is leading, Pocock should benefit from preferences from the Greens, who are polling 10.5%, and fellow independent Kim Rubenstein, sitting on 4.5%, and should do respectably on preferences from most of the remaining candidates.
