This is a list of Asian Australians who have served as members of Australian federal, state, or territory legislatures. Despite Australia's proximity to Asia, as well as the significant and increasing minority of Australians belonging to an Asian ethnicity,[1][2] the Australian Parliament is considered to be particularly under-representative of its Asian constituents in comparison to other Western multicultural democracies[3][4][5] with members of minority groups making up only about 6 percent of Parliament.[6]
