The success story for Labor tonight was the Queensland seat of Longman, where Susan Lamb enjoyed a substantial swing. In the Tasmanian seat of Braddon, Liberal candidate Brett Whiteley refused to concede defeat, but most commentators believed Justine Keay would hold on to the seat. 

Labor's Patrick Gorman and Josh Wilson were elected in Perth and Fremantle, as expected.
