An FP Explainer

There are 32 new Members of Parliament (MPs) in the 48th Parliament.

This includes two MPs who were formally in the Senate.

This includes one independent, seven members of the Liberal and Nationals Parties and 24 members of the Labor Party.

To help with getting to know them, we’ve developed a table with a list of the new MPs, where they are from, their party and link to further information and contact details.
