00:00it was a remarkable election night let's look at the figures as they are the next day
00:06the labor party is just under 35 percent the coalition 32 percent greens 12 others 13 one
00:12nation 6 that's translating into a three percent swing to to labor it's only the fifth swing to a
00:19government in 60 years the first swing to a first term government in a century labor's vote 55.1
00:25that's up towards the level of 1943 when labor was dominant before the formation of the liberal
00:31party and it's the worst result for the coalition since then as well let's look at the seats in the
00:35chamber the labor party has a definite 86 seats now tony abbott won 90 seats in the landslide in 2013
00:42so that's the sort of level the labor party's got and there's still some seats in dark the liberal
00:47coalition on 39 39 seats others 11 there's a few seats where the greens could win perhaps three
00:53seats they just haven't been confirmed yet now look at the members that have been defeated for
00:58for the coalition there's david coleman a front bencher michael suker a front bencher peter dunn of
01:03course the leader keith wallahan an upcoming member that's all but one of those seats is an urban seat
01:10one of the capital city seats the liberal party did badly in inner cities last time that spread further
01:15out to other city seats the cities of australia most of the liberal party seats have been defeated all
01:21across the country and if we look at the what's happened for the labor party they've got a sea of
01:26red coming into the chamber some of them in defeated defeating sitting members for the liberal party
01:31some of them replacing retiring members but the difference between those blue seats going out of
01:36the chamber and the sea of red coming in shows the scale of labor's victory at the election
01:41and the
01:45high-level party
