SA Greens senator backs party leader

Victoria's newest senator Ricky Muir is off to Canberra after winning the state's sixth Senate spot.

The unemployed father-of-five won the seat despite the microparty winning just 0.51 per cent of the primary vote, thanks to a complex set of preference flows.

Mr Muir will join the Greens' Janet Rice, who also picked up a Victorian Senate seat while Liberal Senator Helen Kroger has lost her senate seat.

ALP senators Gavin Marshall and Jacinta Collins and Liberal senators Mitch Fifield and Scott Ryan were returned.

With the Senate result in SA finalised on Tuesday the Australian Electoral Commission said voters had elected two Liberal Senators, Corey Bernardi and Simon Birmingham, Labor's Penny Wong, the Greens Sarah Hanson-Young, popular independent Nick Xenophon and Family First's Bob Day.

The big loser from the poll was sitting Labor Senator Don Farrell, who will lose his spot when the new Senate comes into effect in July.
