Of the next 22 appointments to the Senate, what percentage will be women?
0%-49%: 25%
50%-75%: 35%
75%-100%: 40%
(If the 23rd (and further) appointments are made at the same time as the 22nd, they will also count for this question)
Some have called for all of the current 22 vacancies in the Senate to be filled by women, to achieve gender balance (see article here). The current government has not made any specific commitments, although they seem vaguely positive towards gender balance. I think that the majority of the current vacancies will indeed be filled by women, but the percentage of female appointees will probably be significantly less than 100%.
