It's official: Malcolm Turnbull's government has a one-seat majority in the lower house.
The Australian Electoral Commission says Labor's Cathy O'Toole has won the Queensland seat of Herbert by 37 votes, ousting Liberal incumbent Ewen Jones.
It's the last House of Representatives seat to be finalised and leaves the coalition government with 76 seats, a majority of just one.
Labor has won 69 seats.
But that could change, with the possibility of the Liberals seeking a Court of Disputed Returns ruling to void the election result and run a fresh election.
