Commonwealth Women Parliamentarians Australia

Fantastic to share the stage with many of my women MP’s to chat to young women from around the State as part of the Commonwealth Women Parliamentarians (CWP) for the Stepping Up program. Especially great to chat with students Meadow West & Allegra Quilliam from Circular Head Christian School and
Holli & Tanner from the Burnie Indi School. I look forward to catching up with these wonderful young women in the future. CWP Australia Region Commonwealth Women Parliamentarians
