The federal parliament is set to look different, with diverse candidates winning seats in the election. It points to the importance of reflecting the communities they represent.


This election will be remembered for the record number of independent women candidates who successfully unseated Liberal and National opponents in conservative strongholds.

From Zoe Daniel and Monique Ryan in Melbourne, to Allegra Spender, Sophie Skamps and Kylea Tink in Sydney.

Their election campaigns focused on climate action, political integrity and gender equality.
