Lambie Retains Senate Spot, Holds Off Hanson Challenge
- Jacqui Lambie secured re-election to one of Tasmania's six Senate seats in the May 3, 2025, federal election after weeks of uncertainty.
- This election followed Anne Urquhart's casual vacancy caused by her move to the House of Representatives and ongoing speculation about a One Nation challenge.
- Alongside Lambie, two Labor senators, two Liberals including Richard Colbeck, and one Greens senator won spots, maintaining the 2019 balance in Tasmania's Senate representation.
- Senator Lambie expressed her appreciation to supporters and acknowledged the opportunity to serve the people of Tasmania for an additional six years.
- Lambie's return indicates that Labor will probably need to work alongside the Greens or members of the Coalition to gain enough support in the Senate to pass legislation during the 47th Parliament.
