Australian politicians are individuals elected to represent the interests of their constituents in the Parliament of Australia. They work at both the federal and state levels, making decisions on laws, policies, and public services. The two main political parties are the Liberal Party of Australia and the Australian Labor Party, along with several smaller parties and independents. These politicians are responsible for addressing various issues, such as healthcare, education, and the economy. They engage with the public through community meetings and social media, aiming to understand the needs of their voters and promote their party's agenda.
