Gender equality set to be achieved in the Senate for the first time

by Activist | Sep 10, 2019

Women and men will make up equal numbers in the Australian Senate for the first time with the anticipated arrival of a former Liberal MP.

Sarah Henderson was pre-selected for the Senate spot vacated by former minister Mitch Fifield, after losing the Victorian seat of Corangamite at the May election.

Her return to Parliament will see the number of male and female Senators split evenly at 38 each.
