We know the statistics; Australian women are not well represented politics, on boards or in leadership roles. Today there are only 40 women members in the House of Representatives and 27 Senators.

What are and have been the barriers to women’s participation in the parliamentary process?  Is it the political system itself or is it the parliament? 

Perhaps it is the way in which the media has portrayed women MPs over the years. Many would argue they are subject to more scrutiny than their male colleagues.

What we do know is that when there are difficult political times women MPs have been called on – Amanda Vanstone, Joan Kirner, Kristina Kenneally and Anna Bligh all come to mind.

Join us for a relaxed evening with Dr Crawford who will share an insight to her journey and the way women’s parliamentary representation has changed over the years, their place in politics and their leadership styles.

There will be plenty of time for questions, good food & beverages PLUS an opportunity to win lucky door prizes and support our charity of the month, Coffs Coast Autism Association.
