Good to see Labor has listened to feminists who called for gender equality so there's 50/50 representation in Parliament.

50% of all ALP candidates preselected for the 2025 election were women.

50% of the Cabinet in Anthony Albanese's 2025-2028 government are women.

On #InternationalWomensDay RepresentWomen released a memo entitled "Voting Systems and Women's Representation." Their research showed that countries ranked higher in gender parity had better systems such as #RankedChoiceVoting and #GenderQuotas. The message is clear: If we want more women elected in the U.S., we need systemic change.
