How many years the member of australian cabinet hold their position?
After 3 years there will be a election at house of representative does it also include the changes of the cabinet member? but how about the election of senate member?
im sorry i really don't understand about Australian politics because im from Malaysia.
In Australia, members of the cabinet do not have a fixed term limit for holding their positions. The tenure of cabinet members is determined by the Prime Minister, who has the authority to appoint and dismiss cabinet ministers. Typically, cabinet positions are reviewed and reshuffled by the Prime Minister after each federal election or in response to changes in the political landscape.
Regarding the Australian electoral system, there are two main legislative bodies: the House of Representatives and the Senate. Members of the House of Representatives are elected every three years. After three years, a federal election is held, where voters select representatives for the House of Representatives. This election can result in changes to the composition of the cabinet, as the Prime Minister may choose to appoint new ministers from the elected representatives.
On the other hand, the Senate is a different electoral body. It consists of senators from each state and territory, and their terms are typically six years. However, Senate elections are staggered in a way that only half of the Senate seats are up for election every three years. This means that the election of senators may not coincide with the election of House of Representatives members, and therefore potential changes in the cabinet can vary depending on the election outcomes for both houses.
I hope this explanation helps you understand the Australian political system better! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
