 Katie HALL (Footscray) (13:23): The Allan Labor government has also committed to helping address a different kind of gender inequity: statue inequity. Less than 2 per cent of public statues in Victoria are of women, and I am delighted that there will be a large-scale mural of Aunty Marge Lilardia Tucker overlooking Lilardia Park in Footscray. The women honoured through the new statues were voted on by more than 10,000 Victorians, and I am so happy that Aunty Marge has been recognised by all Victorians and will add to the beautiful public artwork and murals funded by the Allan Labor government in Footscray.
