Sussan Ley will be the new Liberal leader alongside former energy spokesperson Ted O'Brien who will be deputy leader.

While most high-profile ministers will remain in their roles, the prime minister has swapped around some key portfolios after Labor's landslide election victory. 

The Greens are expected to vote for a new leader late next week, after Adam Bandt's surprise loss in his seat of Melbourne left the minor party reeling. 

The minor party leader has officially conceded defeat in his long-held seat of Melbourne, clearing the way for the Greens to appoint a new federal captain.

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton lost the seat he has held for 24 years on Saturday, as Labor swept to a landslide victory. 

Anthony Albanese has been returned to office as prime minister, with Labor winning today's federal election. Take a look back at how election day unfolded. 

The major parties have decided on a solution to Australia's housing crisis: build more homes. But some of the country's newest suburbs suggest it's not as straightforward as it seems. 

The last leaders debate before the election saw Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton go head to head over the role of Welcome to Country ceremonies, Donald Trump and national security. 

After four weeks of campaigning, and three earlier debates, the two leaders arrived with well-rehearsed pitches to voters.

Independent MP Monique Ryan says she would have to give thought to whether influencer content paid for by politicians should be clearly labelled as such, after fellow "teal" Allegra Spender revealed she had paid for posts.

Modelling has found the opposition's flagship gas reservation policy may bring down household electricity bills by "around 3 per cent" next year, meaning a saving of roughly $50 to $70 a year for most families.

The international education sector says the Coalition's announcement of plans to cap overseas students at 25 per cent of university cohorts if elected in May came out of the blue.

Peter Dutton will pledge to cap the number of international students able to start study in Australia each year at 240,000, after blocking Labor's attempts to introduce legislation to limit enrolments last year.

It's not unusual for a federal election campaign to overlap with Eid al-Fitr, one of the most important days in the Muslim calendar. It is the absence of many senior politicians at traditional community events that raises eyebrows. 

Peter Dutton has partially walked back his party's plan to force federal public servants back into the office full time, now saying the edict will only apply to Canberra-based workers.

Peter Dutton revealed he disagreed with advice he received as defence minister that there was no need to act on Darwin Port being leased to a Chinese-owned company, as he announced he would now return the port to Australian ownership if elected.
