Sitting members and senators from the Parliamentary Handbook (members of the Liberal National Party of Queensland and the Country Liberal Party are shown in the party room they sit in). Changes since the 2025 election: Barnaby Joyce left the Nationals for One Nation (December 2025); David Farley won the Farrer by-election for One Nation on 9 May 2026; Allegra Spender and Zali Steggall formed Community Strong. One Nation's two MPs are Barnaby Joyce (New England, ex-Nationals, joined December 2025) and David Farley (won the Farrer by-election, 9 May 2026). Community Strong is the party formed by Allegra Spender (Wentworth) and Zali Steggall (Warringah). Labor needs 9 more votes to pass a bill opposed by the Coalition: the Greens alone (10) suffice.
