One Nation has picked up its fourth Senate seat, doubling its presence, as the final makeup of the upper house is decided.
The party’s Warwick Stacey won the last of six Senate vacancies in NSW, the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) announced on Friday.
He joins newly-elected Tyron Whitten, who won in sixth spot in Western Australia, re-elected Malcolm Roberts, who came in sixth in Queensland, and continuing senator and party leader Pauline Hanson.

One Nation will now have four seats in the Senate, which it last had in 2016.

What are the Senate election results?

The AEC posted the results for NSW on Friday, confirming two Labor senators, two Liberal senators and one Greens senator, along with Stacey.
This followed results for Western Australia on Thursday, where there is a similar makeup of two Labor senators, two Liberal senators and one Greens senator, along with Whitten.

In Queensland, there will also be two LNP senators, two Labor senators, Roberts and the new leader of the Greens, Larissa Waters.

Earlier this week, David Pocock and Katy Gallagher were confirmed as ACT senators; three Labor candidates returned in Victoria, along with two Liberals and a Greens.
In Tasmania, the six returned are two Labor senators, two Liberal senators, one Greens, and Jacqui Lambie.

In the Northern Territory, Labor’s Malarndirri McCarthy and NT CLP’s Jacinta Nampijinpa Price secured victory. Meanwhile, in South Australia, three Labor senators were re-elected, accompanied by two Liberals and one Greens senator.

Who controls the Senate?

Forty of the 76 Senate seats were up for election in the 3 May poll.
Labor will have 28 seats in the upper house, while the Coalition will have 27, and the Greens 11. One Nation will have four, with the remaining six going to independents or minor parties.
This means Labor will have to rely on the Greens or the Coalition to pass legislation.
