Reflects the community': Victoria achieves gender parity among MPs for the first time
Briefly

After the election of Labor's Eden Foster in the seat of Mulgrave, there were 64 women and 64 men in Victorian parliament's lower and upper houses.
Of the 64 female MPs in Victorian parliament, 39 of them are in the Labor caucus, 16 are from the Coalition, and nine are on the crossbench, including five Greens.
It means that when visitors come to the parliament particularly the school groups that come through the parliament on tours they will see a parliament that reflects the community that they live in, they will see a parliament where there are men and women in equal numbers.
