how many seats did one nation win

One Nation’s seat count depends on which election you’re asking about, because the party has won very different numbers in different parliaments and years.

1998 Queensland state election

In its biggest breakthrough, One Nation won 11 seats in the Queensland Legislative Assembly at the 1998 state election.

  • One Nation polled about 22–23% of the vote statewide.
  • It took seats from both the Coalition (Liberals and Nationals) and Labor , temporarily becoming a major player in a hung‑parliament scenario.

Federal Senate (current term, 2025–onwards)

In the federal Parliament, One Nation has four Senate seats after recent elections.

  • The party doubled its Senate representation by winning extra seats in New South Wales and Western Australia in 2025.
  • It currently holds Senators from Queensland, NSW, and WA , giving it a small but influential bloc in the upper house.

Federal House of Representatives

As of the latest federal elections (2025 cycle), One Nation has not won any seats in the House of Representatives, despite polling strongly in some regions.

  • Polling models and projections have suggested potential single‑digit House seats (for example, around 12 seats in one hypothetical MRP poll), but those are projections, not actual won seats.

Answer‑ready table

If you want a quick‑scoop‑style snapshot:

[1][3][7] [7][6] [9][7]
Election / chamber Seats One Nation won
1998 Queensland state election (Legislative Assembly) 11 seats
Senate (federal, current 2025– term) 4 seats
House of Representatives (federal, latest election) 0 seats
If you tell me which election (e.g., “2025 federal election” or “Queensland 2024/2025 state election”), I can tighten the answer to that exact result.
