Federal elections were held in Australia on 5 May 1917. All 75 seats in the House of Representatives and 18 of the 36 seats in the Senate were up for election. The incumbent Nationalist Party of Australia (a result of a merger between the Commonwealth Liberal Party and National Labor Party) led by Prime Minister of Australia Billy Hughes defeated the opposition Australian Labor Party (ALP) led by Frank Tudor.
Hughes, at the time a member of the ALP, had become Prime Minister when Andrew Fisher retired in 1915. The Australian Labor Party split of 1916 over World War I conscription in Australia had led Hughes and 24 other pro-conscription Labor MPs to split off as the National Labor Party, which was able to form a minority government supported by the Commonwealth Liberal Party, led by Joseph Cook. Later that year, National Labor and the Liberals merged to form the Nationalist Party, with Hughes as leader and Cook as deputy leader. The election was fought in the aftermath of the 1916 plebiscite on conscription, which had been narrowly defeated. The Nationalists won a decisive victory, securing the largest majority government since Federation. The ALP suffered a large electoral swing against it, losing almost seven percent of its vote from 1914. The swing was magnified by the large number of former Labor MPs who followed Hughes out of the party.

⇒1917年5月5日、オーストラリアで連邦選挙が行われた。下院の全75議席と、上院の36議席のうちの18議席が選出される予定であった。オーストラリアの首相ビリー・ヒューズが率いる現職の「オーストラリア国民党」（「連邦自由党」と「全国労働党」間の併合の結果）が、対抗するフランク・チューダーの率いる「オーストラリア労働党」（ALP）を破った。

⇒1915年にアンドリュー・フィッシャーが引退したとき、当時のALP党員であったヒューズが首相になった。オーストラリアにおける1916年の第一次世界大戦の徴兵をめぐって仲が割れた「オーストラリア労働党」から、ヒューズと他の24人の徴兵推進労働党議員が「全国労働党」として分立した。そしてそれは、ジョーゼフ・クックの率いる「連邦自由党」の支援を得て、少数党内閣をつくることができた。その年のあと、「全国労働党」と「自由党」とは、「国民党」をつくるために結合して、ヒューズが党首に、クックが副党首になった。

⇒徴兵制に関する1916年の国民投票で、それ（徴兵）は僅差で否決されたが、その余波の中で選挙が行われた。国家主義政党が決定的な勝利を得て、「連邦制度」（成立1901年）以来最大の多数政府を確保した。それに対してALPは、選挙による大きな動揺を喫して、1914年からほぼ7％の票を失った。その動揺は、ヒューズの後を追って党から離れた多数の前労働党議員によって拡大された。
