This table shows the number of seats won by each party at this election. Since this was
a double-dissolution election, seats are shown as long-term (terms to expire in 1981) 
and short-term (terms to expire in 1978), to give the total number of seats held by each 
party in the new Senate. The four territory senators are included with the short-term 
senators.

The "Others" were one Liberal Movement and one independent.
