Australian Senator Larissa Waters has become the first politician to breastfeed in the nation's parliament.
Waters, from the left‑wing Greens party, fed two‑month‑old daughter Alia Joy during a vote today.
The lower house last year joined the Senate in allowing breastfeeding, but no MPs in either house had done so.
It followed a backlash in 2015 when Kelly O'Dwyer, a government minister, was asked to consider expressing milk to avoid missing parliamentary duties.
Waters says they need more women and parents in Parliament.
