The 1993 Australian federal election was held to determine the members of the 37th Parliament of Australia. It was held on 13 March 1993. All 147 seats of the Australian House of Representatives and 40 seats of the 76-seat Australian Senate were up for election. The incumbent government of the centre-left Australian Labor Party led by Paul Keating, the Prime Minister of Australia, was re-elected to a fifth term, defeating the centre-right Liberal/National Coalition led by Opposition Leader John Hewson of the Liberal Party of Australia, and coalition partner Tim Fischer of the National Party of Australia. This was the first, and to date only, time the Labor Party won a fifth consecutive election. The result was considered an upset, as opinion polls had predicted a Coalition win. In his victory speech, Keating would famously describe the result as "the sweetest victory of all". The Coalition's loss was attributed to the unpopularity of Hewson and his economic policy, popularly known as Fightback! This would be the last time that the Labor Party won a majority at the federal level until the 2007 election. It also remains the only time that the Liberal Party was led by a leader who previously had no experience as a minister. (en)
Die Parlamentswahl in Australien 1993 fand am 13. März 1993 statt. Es war die Wahl zum 37. australischen Parlament. Von den beiden Parlamentskammern wurde das Repräsentantenhaus (Unterhaus) vollständig und der Senat (Oberhaus) teilweise neu gewählt. Die regierende Labor Party hatte die Wahl klar gewonnen und konnte ihre absolute Mehrheit an Sitzen im Repräsentantenhaus sogar noch ausbauen. Wahlverlierer, obwohl ebenfalls mit Stimmenzuwächsen, war die oppositionelle Liberal Party. Die kleine Oppositionspartei Australian Democrats musste dagegen die größten Stimmenverluste hinnehmen.
