- Federal elections were held in Australia on 12 December 1906. All 75 seats in the House of Representatives, and 18 of the 36 seats in the Senate were up for election. The incumbent Protectionist Party led by Prime Minister of Australia Alfred Deakin defeated the opposition Anti-Socialist Party led by George Reid. Independent: Frederick Holder Independent: William Trenwith (Vic) It was the third federal election in Australia following the adoption of the federal government. The election was largely important as it would demonstrate which of the parties (if any) could hold together a stable government after the unstable second term of the previous one, which saw four different governments in power. It would also see if both of the Anti-Socialist parties could survive the implementation of protectionist policies which differentiated the two. This was also the first election where seats throughout the country were voted for via a First-past-the-post system, and the first time that Tasmania drew electorates. The election result was the continuation of a Protectionist-Labour coalition government led by Deakin, which remained in power largely due to the unwillingness of the Anti-Socialist Party to support a vote of no confidence against it. There were three main political parties contending for seats, each of which were present at the previous two elections. The Free Trade Party had changed its name under George Reid to the Anti-Socialist Party, in an attempt to differentiate it further from its left-wing rival, the Labor Party and to make its stance clearer to conservative voters. The third party standing for election was the Protectionist Party. However, since its primary platform of government tariffs had been dealt with by previous governments, the Party had become somewhat redundant. Those who remained were largely supporting the Party's leader, Alfred Deakin, rather than its policies. Of the three, the Labour Party, led by Chris Watson, now had the most realistic chance of becoming the dominant party after their gains in the 1903 election and after their leading status in the four minor states they were looking to make the same type of gains in Victoria and New South Wales.
- Wybory parlamentarne w Australii w 1906 roku odbyły się w dniu 12 grudnia. Przedmiotem głosowania była obsada wszystkich 75 miejsc w Izbie Reprezentantów oraz 18 z 36 mandatów w Senacie. Wybory nie przyniosły przełomu na australijskiej scenie politycznej i - podobnie jak poprzednia elekcja - wyłoniły parlament podzielony między trzy partie, z których żadna nie była w stanie samodzielnie rządzić. Najwięcej głosów zebrała Partia Antysocjalistyczna, wcześniej działająca jako Partia Wolnego Handlu. Mniejsze poparcie, ale tyle samo mandatów w izbie niższej, uzyskała Australijska Partia Pracy (ALP). Poważne straty poniosła rządząca Partia Protekcjonistyczna, która dzięki parlamentarnemu poparciu ALP utrzymała jednak władzę i utworzyła trzeci gabinet Alfreda Deakina. Zapoczątkowana wyborami kadencja parlamentu była już drugą z rzędu, podczas której, na przestrzeni trzech lat, Australia miała aż trzy gabinety. W 1908 parlamentarny sojusz ALP i protekcjonistów rozpadł się, co doprowadziło do przejęcia władzy przez ALP i utworzenia mniejszościowego pierwszego gabinetu Andrew Fishera. W 1909 antysocjaliści i protekcjoniści połączyli się w jedno ugrupowanie pod nazwą Związkowa Partia Liberalna, które miał dość posłów, aby stworzyć większościowy czwarty gabinet Alfreda Deakina.
