Lambie, Colbeck finally learn their fate as Senate results revealed
More than three weeks after the federal election, the final Senate results are in for Tasmania.
Jacqui Lambie has been re-elected, while Richard Colbeck avoided making the Liberals' horrible election result worse by holding on to his seat.
The two beat out fellow North-West Coaster and Labor candidate Bailey Falls in the battle for the last two seats.
Tasmania will now be represented by four Labor Senators, four Liberals, two Greens, Jacqui Lambie and independent and former Jacqui Lambie Network member Tammy Tyrrell.
Before preferences were distributed, the Labor Party had 2.4658 quotas, the Liberals had a quota of 1.6477, the Greens quota sat at 1.1419, and the Jacqui Lambie Network had a quota of 0.5094.
Joining senators Lambie and Colebeck are Labor's Carol Brown and Richard Dowling, Liberal Claire Chandler and the Greens' Nick McKim.
In the House of Representatives, former senator Anne Urquhart recorded a two-party preferred 15.23 per cent swing in Braddon to defeat Liberal candidate Mal Hingston.

Labor ‘out of control' by sanctioning Israeli ministers
Sky News host Andrew Bolt discusses the Albanese Labor government sanctioning two Israeli ministers. 'The hypocritical Albanese government really does hate Israel, doesn't it? It is acting like Greta Thunberg and has now hit two Israeli ministers with sanctions,' Mr Bolt said. 'But I want to know why, why this is in Australia's interest to act like useful idiots of radical Islam.'

AUKUS defence pact 'being reviewed' by US government
The US government is reportedly reviewing the AUKUS trilateral defence agreement between Australia, the UK and the US. The decision to conduct a review has been reported by multiple news outlets including Reuters, which cited US defence officials without giving further details. The review will reportedly examine whether the pact is in line with US President Donald Trump's 'America First' policy, according to the ABC which also cited a Pentagon source. AUKUS is a three-nation security alliance between Australia, the UK and the US agreed in 2021 under the prime ministership of ex-Liberal leader Scott Morrison. It was formed to counter China's strategic moves in the Pacific arena and was underpinned by an agreement between the US and the UK to provide Australia with access to nuclear-powered submarine technology, to eventually replace its aging Collins-class boats. The deal is worth hundreds of billions of dollars, although the first submarine is not expected to join the Australian fleet for years. Australia, which in February made the first of six $US500 million (about $800 million) payments to the US for the boats, is expected to initially buy between three and five off-the-shelf Virginia-class boats. At the time, US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said Mr Trump was supportive of the AUKUS deal. "The president is very aware, supportive of AUKUS," Mr Hegseth said after a meeting with Australian Defence Minister Richard Marles. "(He) recognises the importance of the defence industrial base." Mr Marles responded that the pair had discussed how the US and Australia could advance their longstanding diplomatic relationship in terms of national security, including AUKUS. Australia's military budget is expected to rise to 2.3 per cent of gross domestic product, or output, by 2034. The US regime has already called for Australia to increase that spending to around 3.5 per cent. Australia tore up its $90 billion diesel-powered submarine deal with France to sign on to AUKUS and is contracted to buy several off-the-shelf submarines costing about $US4 billion each, before making its own. The first Australian-made boats are not due to be operational until the 2040s.
