Final Breakdown of the Queensland election results:

This election has been a major coup for the left-wing Labor Party. Only a few months ago the centre-right Liberals were polling upwards of 5-6% over Labor - now however, Labor have won with a 5% lead over the Liberals.

Labor have won atleast 50 seats, compared to the Liberals 31 - This election has above all destroyed any remainder of the aura of invincibility that surrounded the Liberals after their shocking victory in the 2019 Federal election.

The minor right-wing parties also did very poorly. Pauline Hanson's One Nation currently sits at 6.9% which is far below the 13.75% they got in 2017. Their only saving grace is that they re-elected their only MP in the Queensland Parliament - saving them from total humiliation. Another minor right-wing party - Katter's Australian Party - relected their 3 MPs but failed to increase their total votes compared to last election. Overall, the combined vote for all right-wing parties was just above 10%, gaining them a single seat.

And finally, the Green Party also increased their seats, from 1 to 2. A minor victory to be sure but still bad news for all right-leaning Australians.
