There are only eleven aborigines in the Australian Parliament.
- They belong to different aspects and it is one of the largest Aboriginal representations that has existed so far.
There are eleven Aboriginal people in the Australian Parliament, one of the highest numbers of indigenous people there have been so far, and that is why they have photographed before Parliament, as The Guardian has reported. It must be borne in mind that the Australian Government has a Senate in addition to the Parliament, and that if the members of both Chambers join, the number of Aboriginal people remains very low.
The Senate has 76 members and Parliament 151. Therefore, out of a total of 227 members, only 11 are indigenous.
Australian Indigenous Minister Linda Burney has said the moment is “historic” and feels “touched and proud”. He adds that the presence of eleven indigenous people in Parliament is “extraordinary” “all from different parties and divided into two chambers” for a period of five years. They express their cooperation with the aim of providing an ambitious agenda.
Functioning of Australian policy
The Australian Government has two chambers: the upper and the lower chambers. The Australian Government has three systems: representative democracy (citizens vote each time to elect some representatives), constitutional monarchy (based on the monarchy, the role of the King's State under the constitutional system) and the state federation (the nation does not have all the power, they share it with the States).
Thus, Australian citizens regularly vote who will be the members of Parliament and the members of Parliament elect the Prime Minister; the Queen of the United Kingdom, who remains the Queen of Australia formally, chooses the Governor-General recommended by the Prime Minister; and the Governor-General elects the ministers with the recommendations of the Prime Minister.
