Of the 21 seats up for grabs at the March 23 election, the Coalition have picked up eight seats, Labor seven, the Greens two seats, Shooters, Fishers and Farmers one seat, One Nation two seats, and the Animal Justice Party one seat.
The final make up of the Legislative Council will now see a crossbench of 11 MPs, while the Coalition will have 17 seats, and Labor will 14.Former federal Senator David Leyonhjelm, the lead candidate for Liberal Democrats narrowly missed out on a seat, as did anti-lockout law party Keep Sydney Open. The Christian Democrats, who were also in the mix for the final three seats, also missed out.
Mr Leyonhjelm prematurely declared himself elected just three days after election day when, with just six per cent of the upper house vote counted, he appeared to be a front runner. But as the count entered the final week, it became apparent that preferences would decide his fate as he, Labor, the Christian Democrats, Animal Justice Party and Keep Sydney Open fought it out for the final three seats.
