The Greens won about 8% in both the house and the senate. In the house, that didn't earn seats, but it did give them some influence (one example being Labor made former Midnight Oil singer and strong environmentalist Peter Garrett its lead spokesperson on environmental affairs and likely new environment minister. In the senate, that lead to several seats because they use the choice voting method of proportional voting.
