Adult Suffrage in Australia

An adult suffrage bill has passed both houses of the Australian Commonwealth Parliament, and is now a law. Under it all adults, without regard to sex, have the right to vote for the members of parliament in the six provinces constituting the federation, and it carries with it the right to sit in parliament if elected. Woman has thus been put on a political equality with man throughout the commonwealth.
