The radical shake-up of Upper House seats means that for any Bills rejected by the Opposition, the Andrews Government will need to coax seven votes from the Greens and a collection of micro parties to get legislation through parliament.

There are now five Greens MPs in the Upper House, along with two Shooters and Fishers Party MPs, a Democratic Labor Party MP, a Sex Party MP, and a Vote 1 Local Jobs MP.

The DLP won a seat with 2.6 per cent of the vote in the Western Metropolitan region, and the Sex Party won a seat in Northern Metropolitan with 2.9 per cent of the vote.

The surprise packet was James Purcell in Western Victoria, who won a seat for the Vote 1 Local Jobs party despite winning just 1.3 per cent of the primary vote.

The Liberals and the ALP won 14 seats each, and the Nationals won two seats.

Within minutes of being declared winners, new MPs were discussing key issues they were elected on — including euthanasia, drug reform, abortion law reform, and gun law reform.

Shooters and Fishers Eastern Victorian MP Jeffrey Bourman stoked controversy immediately, saying gun registration was “ineffectual” and did nothing to stop the Sydney terror attack.

“A known criminal got hold of a gun, it’s as simple as that,” he said.

“Registration did not prevent that.’’

The new MP, who won just 2.5 per cent of the vote but was elected off the back of other micro party preferences, said the gun registration system should be reassessed.

“Registration, as far as I can tell, is actually completely ineffectual,” he said.

“If someone can prove to me that registration actually does anything I will reconsider my opinion, but as far I can tell registration of guns does absolutely nothing, except create jobs.’

“Most of our gun laws now seem to be aimed at the law abiding, not at criminals,” he said.

Mr Bourman will be joined by another Shooters and Fishers MP, Daniel Young.

The Victorian Electoral Commission revealed the winners of all 40 Legislative Council seats at Etihad Stadium.

Two new Greens, Nina Springle and Samantha Dunn, will join the party’s state leader Greg Barber and current MPs Sue Pennicuik and Colleen Hartland in the upper house.

The party also won two Lower House seats, meaning it will hold seven seats in the Victorian Parliament for the next four years.

Mr Barber said the Labor Government would have to rely on the votes of the Greens during this parliament, and the party would play a big role.

DLP MP Rachel Carling-Jenkins, 39, said one of her first priorities would be to try to change the state’s abortion laws, to allow doctors to object to referring patients to other specialists.

Dr Carling-Jenkins said she would work with the government on the issue of jobs.

Sex Party MP Fiona Patten said voluntary euthanasia would be a key focus for her in this parliament, as well as drug reform.
