This table shows the number of seats won by each party at this election, plus the seats
won in 1987, to give the total number of seats held by each party in the new Senate.
Since the 1987 election was a double dissolution, the Senators shown under "1987" are 
the long-term Senators elected at that election.

The "Others" were one Greens (WA), one independent.
