Australia votes: Live election coverage



Tony Abbott will be Australia's next Prime Minister after the Coalition stormed to power in a landslide win over Labor.

The provisional results so far have the Coalition holding 91 seats, Labor holding 55, and one seat each going to Clive Palmer, Bob Katter, The Greens' Adam Bandt and Independent Andrew Wilkie.

Counting will continue in several very marginal seats in the coming days.

Kevin Rudd earlier conceded defeat in Brisbane earlier and says he will not re-contest the leadership of the Labor party.

Prime Minister-elect Tony Abbott told the party faithful he is humbled to become Australia's next Prime Minister.

"My friends. Thank you, thank you so much. I can inform you that the government of Australia has changed," he said in Sydney. "The ALP's vote is at its lowest level in more than 100 years."

Mr Abbott thanked Kevin Rudd for his service to the nation, before pledging to restore stable government which would honour its pledges to the nation.

"The people of Australia have declared that the right to govern this country does not belong to Mr Rudd.... it belongs to you, the people of Australia."

"The Governor-General will swear in a new government. A government that says what it means and means what it says.

"In three years time, the carbon tax will be gone, the boats will be stopped, the budget will be on track.

"Australia is under new management and Australia is once more open for business.

"I give you all this assurance - we will not let you down.

"I pledge myself to the service of our country."

Mr Abbott's speech was marred by a stage intruder.

As the PM-elect posed with his wife and three daughters for photos, a man emerged from the crowd and stood beside them.

The man was able to stand next to the PM for several seconds before he was tackled by security.

Former Prime Minister Julia Gillard has sent her congratulations to the new Prime Minister, and commiserations to Labor.

"Congrats to Mr Abbott & Mr Truss for leading their parties to victory. I wish them & their teams well. It's always an honour to serve. JG," she tweeted.

"A tough night for Labor. But a spirited fight by Kevin, Albo, George + the whole team. My thoughts are with you all."

Earlier Kevin Rudd conceded defeat in Brisbane and says he will not re-contest the leadership of the Labor party.

"I have taken this decision with a heavy heart because I love this party."

The PM urged his party to get behind whoever is chosen to lead the party for the next three years, before saying he is proud of what Labor has achieved in office.

"Today we have fought the good fight as the Australian Labor Party," he told the party faithful, while acknowledging he had called Tony Abbott to concede defeat.

Mr Rudd wished Mr Abbott and his family well over the net three years, saying he knows how difficult it can be.

The PM said he was proud to have saved the furniture for Labor, and preserved a fighting force for the future.

"Throughout our 122-year history, we have always risen from defeat to renew our party with fresh vigour and new ideas for the future. And we’ll do it again," he said. "Ben Chifley's light on the hill burns brightly across Australia.

"I accept responsibility... I gave it my all," he said.

Mr Rudd went on to pay tribute to his staffers, family and fellow MPs.

"I thank you, the army of true believers…you are the heart and soul of Labor... I thank you Albo [Deputy PM Anthony Albanese] for your courage, loyalty, remarkable humour, and your determination always to fight, fight, fight."

KEY SEATS

The switch back to Kevin Rudd as Labor's leader appears to have paid off, with the party 'saving the furniture' in key battleground states Queensland and New South Wales.

 _ Mining magnate Clive Palmer is likely to enter parliament. With counting still underway, he looks set to win the seat of Fairfax.

Speaking to 7News after his victory, Mr Palmer said he believes his party will win a second seat, Fisher, on preferences.

He also told 7News Political Editor Mark Riley that he 'has more money than you can dream of', before inviting us all to have a brontosaurus burger at his Coolum resort, before cutting the interview short because he didn't like the questions being asked.

 _ One Nation's Pauline Hanson may be on her way to re-entering parliament.

With counting still underway, the controversial former member for Oxley is in line to take the sixth Senate spot in NSW on preferences.

 _ Labor's Michelle Rowland has bucked the trend in Western Sydney by securing a swing towards her in Greenway.

Ms Rowland previously held the seat by less than one per cent, but appears to have resoundingly defeated gaffe-prone Coalition candidate Jaymes Diaz.

 _ Eden Monaro is a bellwether seat no more. Labor's Mike Kelly will hold on there, defying the national swing toward the Coalition.

 _ Malcolm Turnbull will win Wentworth - it was never in doubt, while Labor's Laurie Ferguson will hold the iconic seat of Werriwa, once held by former Prime Minister Gough Whitlam.

 _ Tennis legend John Alexander will retain the seat of Bennelong despite a strong challenge from Jason Yat Sen Li.

 _ Labor's Jason Clare, who is considered a possible future Labor leader, will retain his seat of Blaxland.

 _ Former Deputy Prime Minister Wayne Swan's Queensland seat of Lilley is still too close to call.

 _ Fiona 'sex appeal' Scott will win the Western Sydney seat of Lindsay from Assistant Treasurer David Bradbury.

 _ Treasurer Chris Bowen will retain his seat of McMahon.

 _ Greens Deputy Leader Adam Bandt will retain his seat of Melbourne.

 _ Shadow Treasurer Joe Hockey easily retains his seat of North Sydney.

 _ Tony Abbott has managed a 2.3 per cent swing in his seat of Warringah.

 _ Labor is fighting for the seat of Reid in western Sydney, while former Queensland Premier Peter Beattie has lost his bid for the seat of Forde.

 _ Bob Katter appears to have held on to his far north Queensland seat of Kennedy.

 _ Prominent Liberal MP Sophie Mirabella looks to have gone down to a spirited campaign from Independent Cathy McGowan, but counting is ongoing and the results are close.

 _ Former Nationals Senator Barnaby Joyce's move to the lower house has paid off. He will take the seat of New England, formerly held by retiring Independent Tony Windsor.

 _ Prominent Labor Minister Kate Ellis looks safe in Adelaide, while former Deputy PM Wayne Swan is looking shaky in Lilley, but it's still early.

 _ Labor's Joel Fitzgibbon is safe in Hunter, while controversial candidate Mal Brough looks to have taken Fisher from former speaker Peter Slipper.

Mr Slipper has received the lowest primary vote for an incumbent in Australian history.

The Coalition appears to have lost the Queensland seat of Leichardt to Labor's Billy Gordon.

 _ Independent MP Andrew Wilkie is looking safe in the Tasmanian seat of Denison. ]

 _ The Liberal Party has taken the seat of Dobell from isgraced former MP Craig Thomson. Mr Thomson received just four per cent of the primary vote.
