Federal Election 2022 Results:
As mentioned in :
Some data around election results (as of June 28, 2022):
- Only about 8% of elected MPs are from an ethnic background (this includes Indigenous MPs)
- We have elected about 3% Indigenous MPs which is a fantastic result!
Please note that I am talking about the following data without including the senators who were not up for election this year (this is a half-senate election and so only 40 out of the 76 seats were facing election)
- Indigenous candidates have done very well in the senate with a 13% representation (among candidates of colour), and this includes 2 newly elected Indigenous women.
- Half of the senators elected come from the Labor party. In fact, they have elected (and re-elected) 100% of their candidates of colour for the senate which is worth praise.
