The Coalition government will keep its two-seat majority but Mr O'Brien has flagged his intention to cross the floor on a number of bills,including the government's national anti-corruption commission.
The former policeman has been an outspoken critic of the proposed laws and wants the commission to have more teeth to fight corruption.
Finance Minister Mathias Cormann said Mr O'Brien would still be a member of the Queensland party.
"He continues to support the government - that is what he has made clear to the Prime Minister,"Senator Cormann said on Monday morning.
