House of Representatives Members – 47th Parliament 2022-2025

This is the full list of members of the House of Representatives elected on May 21, 2022.

The election saw the Coalition defeated in its attempt to win a fourth term. The ALP, led by Anthony Albanese, secured a nationwide swing of 3.66% and won government with 77 seats. The Coalition parties won 58 seats.

The Australian Greens won 4 seats, picking up 3 seats in Brisbane to add to leader Adam Bandt’s Melbourne electorate.

Ten crossbenchers, in addition to the 4 Greens, entered parliament. Six of these were known as Teals, all women who defeated Liberal Party members in the once impregnable safe seats of Kooyong, Goldstein, North Sydney, Mackellar, Wentworth and Curtin.

In addition to the Teals, the ALP won Higgins, Tangney, Pearce, Boothby and Bennelong, all seats once safely held by the Liberal Party.

In a 151-seat House, the ALP won 77 seats (+9). The Coalition won 58 seats (-19). The Greens’ Adam Bandt was re-elected, as were independents Bob Katter and Andrew Wilkie. Rebekha Sharkie of the Centre Alliance (formerly the Nick Xenophon Team) was also re-elected.

The ALP secured 32.58% (-0.76%) of the primary vote, lower than its 2013 performance of 33.38%. The Coalition’s combined primary vote was 35.70% (-5.73%).

The ALP won 52.13% (+3.66%) of the two-party-preferred vote, to the Coalition’s 47.87%.

With its success in the Aston by-election, the Albanese government has 78 seats and an overall majority of 5 seats. After providing a Speaker, the government has a floor majority of 2, although this is generally augmented by the 17-member crossbench. In addition, a Liberal, Russell Broadbent, and a National, Andrew Gee, now sit on the crossbench.
