The 2082 Australian Federal election was held on 12 September 2082, set to determine the members of the 2082-2085 Australian parliament. The election was won by the 8 year Opposition Leader Howard Knights and his Democratic/Progressive Coalition.

For the first time in 42 years, Australia elected a non-Australian Nationalist government, the party that ruled the nation for over four decades having fallen in the polls due to leaked records of corruption from the Burges-era, as well as their handling over the oil depression.

Ultimately, they exchanged enough seats within the House of Representatives to see that the ANP fall not just out of government, but saw Labor become the Leaders of the Opposition, the first time since 2038.
