The elections have already happened in May, and people have rejected the Labor party who was pushing for climate change reforms.

I suspect if the elections were to happen now, things might be different. Lots of people have directly or indirectly (thanks to heavy smog) suffered from the wildfires, moreso than previous summers.

Labor were also saying that taxes will increase, I think that is the major factor for their loss.

LNP were also pushing hard that taxes will increase under labour with their big push on the 'Labor will introduce death tax' which was highly unethical and misleading.
