Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders’ participation in political parties

本项目旨在研究澳大利亚土著和托雷斯海峡岛民参与澳大利亚主要政党的参与、领导机会和面临的挑战。该项目与主要政党合作，包括澳大利亚范围内的研究和深入的案例研究。该项目将提供循证研究和政策建议，探讨影响澳大利亚土著党员晋升为领导角色的因素，以及土著和托雷斯海峡岛民在政党等级、代表机构和决策过程中持续被政治边缘化的公认挑战。该项目有望理解并帮助解决澳大利亚民主的一个关键问题。

This project aims to examine the participation of, leadership opportunities for, and challenges faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians participation in Australia’s major political parties. Working with major political parties, this project encompasses both Australia-wide research and in-depth case studies. The project will provide evidence-based research and policy advice on factors affecting the advancement of Indigenous Australian party members into leadership roles and the recognised challenge of continued political marginalisation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in party hierarchies, representative institutions and decision-making processes. This project is expected to understand and help redress a key issue for Australian democracy.
