Re:Assange 'to run for Australian senate' by nopassrecover on Sunday March 18, 2012 @03:49AM (#3719341)
The cabinet (i.e. ministers) are appointed by the party with the most seats, but members of parliament themselves are most certainly elected directly by the local area which they represent.

The senate is a bit different, where you have the option to select either the specific senators you want, or to delegate your votes to a party to allocate.
