Australian Federal Election, 2100 (The Realignment)

A federal election held to determine the members of the 2100-2103 took place on 14 September 2100. The incumbent Democratic/Progressive coalition was defeated by the centre-left Labor party, led by Hamish Whitlam.

Following the long declining popularity of the incumbent government, which had only held onto power through the Nationalist party, Labor saw to its first electoral victory in 64 years, led by the 38 year old Hamish Whitlam (direct descendant of former Prime Minister Gough Whitlam), who campaigned vigorously on nationalisation of a number of industries (including banks), and the push against further privatisation of hospitals, as proposed by Tahlia Hanigan.
