Mr Dutton's roles of Immigration and Home Affairs Minister made him a major target for Labor and attracted massive campaigns from groups like GetUp!.

But a swing to the LNP saw him beat Labor's candidate Ali France.

Mr Dutton addressed his jubilant supporters with a Paul Keating quote after he had days earlier told voters to "drive a political stake through [Mr Dutton's] dark political heart".

"This is the sweetest victory of all," he said.

He told the media Queenslanders "had their baseball bats out for Bill Shorten".

"Queenslanders can call out a phony — and they have.

"People didn't want Bill Shorten as prime minister of this country, and they've spoken tonight and in Queensland I think we've delivered in magnificent form."

The LNP has picked up two seats from Labor in Queensland, Longman and Herbert.

It looks set to hold its marginal seats of Brisbane, Flynn, Bonner, Petrie, Forde, Dawson, and Capricornia.

Capricornia Liberal MP Michelle Landry said the massive swing towards her was "beyond belief".

She said she owed her success to a convoy of anti-Adani protesters, which descended on central Queensland last month.

"Thank you Bob Brown is all I can say," she said.

ABC's chief election analyst Antony Green said the Coalition was on track to win 23 seats in Queensland, while Labor has so far been left with five.

The seat of Lilley, previously held by former Labor treasurer Wayne Swan, is still in doubt with Labor's Anika Wells only slightly ahead.

"That's the sort of wipe-out we were seeing in 2001, 2004 in Queensland for Labor," he said.

"This is a terrible result for the Labor Party."

Former prime minister John Howard said Queenslanders were "common-sense Australians".

"They worry about job security. And when they saw a Labor Party prepared to destroy jobs in the name of climate ideology in relation to the Adani mine, they said 'that's not for Queensland'."

He praised the efforts of re-elected MPs like Mr Dutton.

"He's had everybody kicking at him. And I think it has been remarkable, what he's done."

During his victory speech in Townsville, the successful LNP candidate for Herbert, Phillip Thompson, was met by chants of "Adani" from the crowd.

"We are from grassroots. I see small business, I see Defence, I see people who work for — and you're going to like this — the Adani mine," he said.

"We don't shy away from that in north Queensland … because we back projects that create jobs and economic drivers."

Penny Wong said Queensland had been tough for Labor.

"It's been tough in Queensland for a fair while for Labor federally," she said.

"We've had state Labor governments but that hasn't, other than in '07, translated into a strong federal vote."

Liberal senator Arthur Sinodinos said the Coalition's jobs message cut through in Queensland.

"I think the story's in two parts. I think north Queensland and central Queensland … Adani became about jobs," he said.

"The Bob Brown caravan which went up there to talk about stopping Adani, had the effect of making a lot of locals say 'hang on, you are not going to tell us how to live'.

"In the outer suburbs of Brisbane, I think Scott Morrison plays quite well and in part, they've also probably picked up on the jobs message."

With 74.7 per cent of the vote counted, One Nation appears to have massively out-polled Clive Palmer's United Australia Party in Queensland.

This morning, the ABC's election computer still has One Nation's Malcolm Roberts potentially picking up one of Queensland's Senate seats but results show Fraser Anning will not.
