The 2097 Australian Federal Election was a parliamentary election staged to determine the members of the 2097-2100 parliament, and was won by the incumbent Democratic/Progressive coalition, led by Tahlia Hanigan. Held almost two years following the assassination of Jackson O'Meara, the Coalition was forced by the Nationalists to elect the unpopular Tahlia Hanigan as leader of the Democratic party to retain their confidence in the government.
