Quotas system in Australian parliament and Indian
Reservation system
In every country, quota system is
being used in order to bring several
changes [1]. These changes are
benefitting positively as well as
negatively to the various people in
country. Chris Wallace stated in
favour of quotas. It stated that
quotas have brought several
significant changes in the labour
member of parliament. The mass
number of women also started
contributing in the parliament. It also
said that quotas are part of political
life. By arguing on this statement,
Chris Urquhart said that there should
not be any quota system. Tickets will
be given to those who deserve the
most. As compare to this, around
half of the population in labour
politics are women that did not
happen by chance [2]. It happened
just because party also recognised
that it had the same problem.
As compare to above arguments,
Dame Beryl who was the chairman of
“Federal Women’s Committee of
Liberal Party of Australia” stated that
women should be homemakers. In
recent time, Australia labour party
has also introduced the National
Gender Equality strategy. It is
released for ending the violence
against women. It has also spent
around six years in order to develop
the gender equality policy. In the
year 2019, Liberal-National Coalition
has secured the majority of votes [3].
It also argued that in the year 2012,
share of women in parliament has
also reached 21.8%. It is required to
changes. Labour party has also taken
the initiative to adopt the action
policy. Under this policy, it sets the
required quota of around 40 per cent
for the women. It is pre-decided in
the winnable seats. By the year
2025, it has decided to complete the
target of 50 per cent seats for the
women in parliament. In the past few
years, Australia labour policy also
provides the training to every women
member throughout its branches.
The main objective of this training is
to enhance women's skill in media
engagement, campaigning, public
speaking, fundraising, and meeting
procedures [4].
Amy Remeikis stated his viewpoint in
the article. It has thrown light on the
Liberal Party’s gender war. Women
hold around 20 of the Liberal party’s
68 seats in both the houses of
Australian Parliament. It has also

said that this number can drop in the
next election. Several women’s
problem also come in front including
harassment allegation, and sex
scandal. As compared to this,
Reynolds has argued that many
times quota system has led to the
around 50 per cent of the women
representative. It did not help and
assist in creating cultural change. It
is against the quota system. The
perception behind the non-quota
system is that women will revert
properly what they were once.
Liberal have also argued against
making the increment in the
minimum wages that benefit the
women.
Several changes are also explained
for the quota system in the
Australian Parliament. Regarding
this, Australian Parliament also made
several changes over time. Besides
this, it also made progress in
accommodating parents. Under this
change over time, Parliament house
will have the breastfeeding room as
well as childcare services for the new
mothers. This change is made by
keeping the idea in mind that female
politicians not only need the
supportive workplace but the
supportive families. However, most
of the political parties in Australia
have improved by increasing the per
cent of women in house of
representative. Besides this, it is also
found that Australia is proud of
making the significant moves toward
bringing the significant moves
toward the equality for women.
Similarly, India also has reservation
system for the people who are below
the economic scale. The main idea of
this system is also to bring equality
among people [5]. In recent time, the
new public sector quota also
expected to provide the advantages
to upper class in the Indian society.
The reservation system includes
those people whose annual income is
below 8,00,000. For this system,
almost all the political parties have
supported. For the Hindu religion,
Indian government has taken the
affirmative action for the upper
caste. In this regard, Modi has stated
that every people have come in the
world with empty plate.
In this regard, Narayan
Ramachandran argued that India still
needs some more women
parliamentarians. It states that India
ranked at the number 153 out of the
190 nations [6]. In May 2014, India
had 65 women out of 545 members.
it has also stated that India is facing
several challenges. Reservation
system is also one such challenge in
India. In the political system also,
reservation system is at peak in
