The 22-year-old disability advocate set to fill the Greens seat left vacant by Scott Ludlam has vowed to break stereotypes, and represent the interests of the young and disabled in federal parliament.
Jordon Steele-John insists he is ready for the job after "careful reflection" as he prepares to become Australia's youngest senator.
He has told the A-B-C, he plans to use his role as a senator for Western Australia to give young people and those with disabilities a voice in parliament.
"It should never be something that causes you to be held back in your life. I think it is true that disability is a thing which is created by society, rather than by medical condition." Jordon Steele-John said.
