Regarding Lower House Preference Allocations, according to the AEC, allocated when no candidate has more than 50% of the primary vote

• First, all of the number '1' votes are counted for each candidate. If a candidate gets more than half the total first preference votes, that candidate will be elected
• If no candidate has more than half of the votes, the candidate with the fewest votes is excluded. This candidate's votes are transferred to the other candidates according to the second preferences of voters on the ballot papers for the excluded candidate. If still no candidate has more than half the votes, the candidate who now has the fewest votes is excluded and the votes are transferred according to the next preference shown. This process continues until one candidate has more than half the total number of formal votes and is elected

Senate 76 seats
When bills are passed, following any amendments, they require a simple majority. If all senators are present, 39 votes are necessary.

Click here for some background on preferences in the Upper House, 2025 is a half-senate election, voting for 6 new senators from each of the six states, and 2 from each of the two territories.

In the 1975 Australian constitutional crisis, the elected Senate delayed voting on a bill to authorize supply for the government until the Prime Minister, Gough Whitlam, called an election for the House of Representatives. Whitlam was dismissed by the Governor-General, Sir John Kerr, on the basis of his refusal to either resign or request a dissolution.
