Redistribution Gains Karana Downs from Ryan, reducing the margin from 8.9% to 8% History Blair was created in 1998. Its first member was Liberal Cameron Thompson, who was a backbencher for his entire parliamentary career. Thompson was defeated in 2007 by Shayne Neumann.

The Missing Women of Australian Politics
JULIA GILLARD NEXT GENERATION INTERNSHIP REPORT 2020–21 THE MISSING WOMEN OF AUSTRALIAN POLITICS How violence against women creates barriers to female representation By Medha Majumdar ABORIGINAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT EMILY’s List Australia proudly acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first people and Traditional Owners and custodians of the land and water on which we rely. We acknowledge and respect that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are steeped in traditions and customs built on an incredibly disciplined social and cultural order. This social and cultural order has sustained up by 50,000 years of existence. We acknowledge the ongoing leadership role of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community on gender equality. As First Peoples, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are best placed to determine a culturally appropriate path to gender equality in their communities. In this document, ‘Aboriginal’ refers to both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. 2 | EMILY’s List Australia | THE MISSING WOMEN OF AUSTRALIAN POLITICS Contents INTRODUCTION FROM THE CONVENORS .......................................................................................................4 AUTHOR ............................................................................................................................................................6 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ......................................................................................................................................7
