Notes

edit
  1. ^ The Liberal National Party was an amalgamation of the Liberal Party and National Party in Queensland. Change is compared to the coalition total in 2007.
  2. ^ a b c d The independents were Bob Katter (Kennedy, Qld), Rob Oakeshott (Lyne, NSW), Andrew Wilkie (Denison, Tas) and Tony Windsor (New England, NSW).
  3. ^ a b The National Party of Western Australia prior to and subsequent to the election were not in the federal Coalition agreement. Nationals WA MP Tony Crook stated that he was a crossbencher, and has said: "In every news report and press report we see, my number is being allocated in with the Coalition and it shouldn't be".[6] Thus, the party has been counted separately from the Coalition totals.
  4. ^ The abolished district was Lowe (Labor).
  5. ^ The new seat was Wright.
