Through this system, she managed to get enough support to secure a seat.Labor member got the lowest vote among six successful Senate candidates of his state, South Australia. Elections were officially announced by the Australian Election Commission on 27 May.He is ready to start his six -year term in July and admits that the new job will be a “big adjustment” for him.Speaking to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Walker said, “There are some emotions. Obviously, there is a lot of pressure.”Expressing both enthusiasm and new responsibilities, Walker said, “I want to do a good job for the South Australians, but I also want to show young people, especially young women, that it is worthy of achieving and it’s something they can do. I am really excited. There are not many people.
