澳大利亚议会的扩张. PM Albanese rejects calls to expand Australian parliament.

澳大利亚总理安东尼·阿尔巴内斯拒绝扩大议会的要求, 表示他对目前下院规模感到满意. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has rejected calls to expand the country's parliament, stating he is satisfied with the current size of the lower house. 支持增加议员数量, 等待对选举制度进行审查. This decision reverses earlier indications from a senior minister who had supported increasing the number of MPs pending a review of the electoral system. 批评者认为,一个更大的议会可以提高代表性, 但政府坚持目前的结构是足够的. Critics argue a larger parliament could improve representation, but the government maintains the current structure is sufficient.
