00:00Scenes of jubilation as South East seats switch to red.
00:07I actually thought it would be a lot closer than it was.
00:13The woman who ousted Peter Dutton shrugged off suggestions she's a giant slayer.
00:18I wouldn't use those words.
00:20The new member for Dixon joined other incoming Labor MPs.
00:24I'm the next member for Griffith, Bonner.
00:26Well, not Labor's candidate anymore. I am the future member for Brisbane.
00:31Veteran colleagues called the results spectacular but insist they're no fluke.
00:36The trust that Queenslanders have placed in our new members of Parliament
00:40and we intend to repay that trust.
00:43Sorry, a bit windy out here.
00:46The winds have changed, that's right.
00:48Heading into the election, Labor held just five of Queensland's 30 federal seats.
00:54So far, it looks to have gained seven more.
00:57Seizing two from the Greens and making significant dents in the Liberal National Party's stronghold,
01:02including in the far north.
01:04And I really appreciate the confidence that people have shown in our positive plan.
01:09Labor insiders were wary of the party's chances of gaining seats after last year's state election loss.
01:15They'd been eyeing off several electorates, but ultimately didn't expect to win as many as they did.
01:21While the LNP still looks like it'll hold slightly more seats in Queensland,
01:26the results will prompt plenty of soul searching.
01:30The Liberal Party now holds no federal seat within metropolitan Brisbane.
01:36The post-mortems have begun.
01:38I believe it was a net result of bad policy articulation across the board.
01:47Mr Dutton, who has lost his seat, bears the responsibility for that.
01:50David Littleproud, National's leader, he must bear some of the responsibility as well.
01:54He's now questioning the National leader's future.
01:57Well, I think his position as leader is untenable.
02:00The Greens ranks are diminished, with two gone in Brisbane, including Max Chandler-Mather.
02:05I did put Greens second. I just thought, you know, who would be stronger in the region?
02:11But in the inner west, Elizabeth Watson-Brown is ahead in Ryan as counting continues.
