Palmer United Party leader Clive Palmer says his group is ready to split the major parties as he claimed the seat of Fairfax for himself and his party.
Mr Palmer says he will win Fairfax, based in Coolum where he owns a luxury resort, with around 56 per cent of the vote.
"There isn't any doubt that I've won."
He also believes the nearby seat of Fisher will be won by the PUP and is talking up the chances in two other seats in the lower house.
Mr Palmer has suggested his party has won the balance of power in the upper house via a win for the lead Senate candidate in Queensland, former rugby league star Glenn Lazarus.

Mr Palmer also raised concerns about foreign involvement in Australia, arguing that "Australian politics should be about Australians making decisions free from foreign interference. That's a pretty important principle not to forget."
"We can't avoid the fact in this election that, a lot of it was decided by people not in Australia and not Australian citizens."
He was unable to offer specific answers to questions about what he was going to achieve in parliament and laughed when asked who his first target in Question Time will be.
Mr Palmer sought to cast himself and his party as a new force in Australian politics.
"We can win the whole country in the next three years."
