2025 federal election — archive summary
Date: 3 May 2025
Result: Labor re-elected — 94 seats (17 net gain) · Coalition 43 (−15) · Crossbench 13
National 2PP: ~55.3% Labor
Structural takeaways
- Labor won majority with inefficiently distributed but large 2PP — can lose national 2PP and still hold majority (Bonham analysis).
- Coalition vote concentrated in safe seats — uniform swing model understates Labor hold.
- 35 non-classic seats — Teal/IND/Green contests broke standard pendulum.
- Dutton lost Dickson — first opposition leader to lose own seat; triggered Ley then Taylor leadership.
