 Alison MARCHANT (Bellarine) (13:50): This week is also International Women’s Day, and I want to say I am immensely proud to be part of a government that champions women and paves the way for a brighter and more equal future for everyone. Each year I see more women and girls stepping into leadership roles across the Bellarine community and organisations, in emergency services, in schools and in workplaces, and I am confident this momentum will continue to grow and women’s voices will be heard.
