An Aboriginal Australian has been elected to parliament for the first time in the country's history.
Ken Wyatt, 57, an expert on Aboriginal health, took the seat of Hasluck in Western Australia for the centre-right Liberal Party.
Neither the Liberals nor the governing Labor Party gained enough seats at last week's election for a majority.
Mr Wyatt has dismissed the racist hate mail he received, saying it was time for Australia to move forward. BBC News
