Labor's substantial majority survived the election almost intact going from a large 17 seat majority to a marginally decreased if still sizeable 11 seat majority. The Liberals succeeded in taking two independent-held seats and one Labor-held seat, whilst the Nationals and an independent each took one Labor-held seat. This would be NSW Labor's last state election win until 2023. It also remains the most recent contest in which NSW Labor formed a majority government.
