This assumes that completing a sentence demonstrates reform and prevents or reduces reoffence rates. This is not true, and as such should continue to bar politicians from running for office.

Committing crimes which attract a sentence of imprisonment speaks to the character of the person. You shouldn’t be able to be elected to politics
Why should convicted felons be allowed to represent a democracy if they have failed to ultimately follow the law in which they are supposed to represent and preach.

Why elect a Politician who has convicted of a crime when there are plenty who have not been convicted or commited any crimes?
They are still a criminal, no matter what they did. Criminals find it so difficult to find a new job coming out of prison, so why give politicians the opportunity?

Politicians must show high levels of integrity and by allowing criminals to become politicians is not good, even if they have finished serving their sentence
Politicians must be people of integrity and authority, they must be people who we can trust and believe in to represent us.

violence, dishonesty (fraud, theft) or safety of others (drink driving). These crimes register one unable to serve in the police (or most would) so same standard should apply.

They still may want to engage in criminal activities whilst in power, and not have Australia's best interest at heart.
