Labor will form a majority government after recording strong swings in New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania and South Australia and a small swing in Victoria, while Peter Dutton has conceded his own seat of Dickson.

The ABC has called 86 seats for Labor, but it is leading in several more, and ABC election analyst Antony Green has said it could end the count with a "thumping" majority.

It will make Anthony Albanese the first prime minister elected twice since John Howard.

Article fails to state that Greens will hold balance of power in the upper house (ie Senate).
