Labor also received the highest two-party-preferred vote of any party since 1975β at 55.22%. This victory was much larger than expected from the [[Opinion polling for the 2025 Australian federal election|opinion polling]] released shortly before the election, which had predicted a substantially narrower Labor victory, or a minority government.[/td] [td][/td]
[td][/td] [td]The election marked the fourth time in Australian history that a [[Australian Government|government]] secured at least ninety House of Representatives seats (after [[1975 Australian federal election|1975]], [[1996 Australian federal election|1996]] and [[2013 Australian federal election|2013]]), the first time this feat had been achieved by a Labor government, and the first time it had been achieved by a single party. The Labor Party's 94 seats was tied with the Coalition's result in [[1996 Australian federal election|1996]] for the most seats ever won by a party or coalition. The re-elected Labor government also became the first returning government to retain every one of its seats since [[Harold Holt]]'s Coalition victory in [[1966 Australian federal election|1966]].[/td]
