This is a list of Indigenous Australians who have been members of Australian legislaturesfederal, state or territory. This list does not cover those elected to local councils (including mayors), Governors/Governors-General, leaders of political parties (outside of parliament), Indigenous Australians actively involved in political institutions and those who have run unsuccessfully for office. There have been 32 Indigenous members of the ten Australian legislatures, beginning when Neville Bonner entered the Australian Senate on 15 August 1971. Of these, seventeen have been elected to the Northern Territory assembly, five to the Australian Federal Parliament, four to the parliament of Western Australia, three to the parliament of Queensland and one each to the parliaments of Tasmania and New South Wales and one to the Australian Capital Territory assembly. Out of the 33 Indigenous Australians elected to any Australian Parliament, 13 have been women. Nobody of acknowledged Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander ancestry has been a member of the parliaments of South Australia or Victoria or of the Norfolk Island assembly. Note: There is considerable debate surrounding the complexity of Indigenous identity. Therefore, this list only includes those who identify themselves as Indigenous Australian. Also note that Indigenous nation/s refer to the Indigenous groups, communities, countries, place names or languages which that person identifies with. Some individuals do not have any specific Indigenous group identity and some have multiple identities. ==Federal Parliament== Six Indigenous Australian people have been members of the Parliament of Australia (the Federal Parliament), five in the Senate and one in the House of Representatives. At least three other members of the Federal Parliament have had acknowledged Indigenous ancestry, but were not generally regarded as Indigenous themselves. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Indigenous Australian politicians」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
