A Federal Election took place on 14 September 2041 for the members of the 57th Parliament of Australia. It was won by incumbent far-right Prime Minister Andrew Burges against the opposition centre-right Liberal National and centre-left Labor parties. Under the short-lived First Burges Government, the economy began to improve due to the Australian Nationalists protectionists policies, and many began to associate the surplus with Burges. Due mainly to these reasons, the Nationalists won a clear majority during the election.
