A small step for Australia. Progress is so achingly slow.
An Aboriginal man has won a seat in Australia’s House of Representatives, becoming the first indigenous person to do so in the country’s history.
Ken Wyatt, 57, took the seat of Hasluck in Western Australia for the centre-right Liberal Party.
Mr Wyatt is the first Aboriginal man elected to the House of Representatives but two other indigenous Australians have served as senators in the upper house of parliament.
