This well-thought-out program is pivotal in driving change and elevating the presence of women in Australian politics. As a migrant woman actively engaged in politics, I am particularly delighted to witness the program's accessibility and affordability to women from diverse backgrounds, including those with culturally diverse and migrant experiences.”
