In 2022 it was the "Greenslide" — three Greens MPs winning inner-Brisbane seats from both Labor and the LNP. This time around the surprise wasn't so much that two of them are gone, but that Labor dominated.So much so Peter Dutton has not only been beaten in the national poll, but also lost his own seat of Dickson. If a seat changed hands in Queensland, it ended up in Labor's count.

It was the former journalist and para-athlete's third time running in the seat.Greens MPs Max Chandler-Mather and Stephen Bates lost their seats of Griffith and Brisbane respectively. The Greens' Elizabeth Watson-Brown is expected to hold on in Ryan.Renee Coffey will be the new representative in Kevin Rudd's old seat of Griffith, and Madonna Jarrett won Brisbane. Even more seats turned from blue to red. Labor defeated LNP in Liechhardt in Far North Queensland, Petrie north of Brisbane and Bonner, in the state capital's east. Outspoken Greens MP Max Chandler-Mather lost out in Griffith. (AAP: Jason OBrien)The government is forecast to win more seats from the LNP on either side of the city, currently enjoying leads in both Forde in Logan, south of Brisbane, and Longman, on the Sunshine Coast. Labor to pick up Senate seatLabor's wins in Queensland are not confined to the lower house. Corrine Mulholland has picked up a senate seat, joining Nita Green, Anthony Chisholm and Murray Watt as Labor senators for Queensland.Labor senator Nita Green was returned on Saturday night. (AAP: Mick Tsikas)Gerrard Rennick, who defected from the LNP while in the Senate before running under his own People First banner, looks unlikely to be returned, meaning Ms Mulholland has essentially won her seat from the LNP. Paul Scarr was re-elected for the LNP.Greens senator Larissa Waters is likely to be returned, as are the LNP's Susan McDonald and One Nation's Malcolm Roberts.
