Contrary to the rest of the world elections in Oceania have shown a slight swing to the left.
It looks like Labor Party have retained power in the ACT with the help of the Greens. The Labor Party had no swing against them but the Greens had a nearly 4% swing toward them at the expense of the conservative parties.

In New Zealand the lovely Jacinda Ardern has declared victory in New Zealand's general election, securing a second leadership term.
The Prime Minister said New Zealand had shown the Labour Party its greatest support in at least 50 years and it was clear they would lead the government for the next three years.
The results so far suggest Labour may have secured enough votes to lead a majority government without the support of a coalition partner.
