RETURNING Federal Member for Maranoa Bruce Scott was in a contemplative mood a day after the election.

Mr Scott attended an ecumenical service at Roma's Shady's Lagoon this morning after which he said today was not the day to talk about his victory.

"Today is a day for reflection with the community," Mr Scott said.

"I want to take a break to reflect on the messages of the electorate."

Mr Scott, first elected to parliament in 1990, was comfortably re-elected for the ninth time with 55.7% of the vote.

With 70% of the vote counted, Nick Cedric-Thompson of Labor has 17.24% just ahead of Palmer United Party's John Bjelke-Petersen with 14.67%. Rowell Walton of the Katter's Australian Party has 5.37% with the Greens Grant Newsom 3.1%.

Family First has 2.9% with Rise Up Australia Party bringing up the rear on 0.99%.

On two-party preferred, that amounts to 70.8-29.2 victory to Mr Scott which is a swing against him of 2.1% but still remains one of the safest seats in the country.

Mr Scott will join up a possible 90 other Coalition members on the government benches after the ALP crashed to its lowest primary vote nationally since 1934. 

In the Queensland Senate race, it seems like that Glenn Lazarus "the Brick with Eyes" from his footy days, will become a Senator for the Palmer United Party joining 2 Labor and 3 LNP senators.
