International Women’s Day

Tim PALLAS (Werribee – Treasurer, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Trade and Investment) (09:41): I thank the Speaker, and the President of the other place, for hosting a lunch in Queen’s Hall on International Women’s Day, and I look forward to celebrating their contributions. I acknowledge the many women in our Parliament, with 54 per cent of Labor MPs and 64 per cent of ministers who are women – a significant change. Now of course it means my gender is in the minority.
