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 1993) 
and short-term (terms to expire in 1990), to give the total number of seats held by each 
party in the new Senate.

The "Others" were one Nuclear Disarmament Party and two independents.
