Winning The Women’s Vote: The Battle Begins In Canberra

Meanwhile Opposition Leader Bill Shorten has promised to appoint a female Governor-General and measures to reduce the pay gap between men and women. The battlelines include ongoing debate about the value of quotas which the Coalition has steadfastly rejected.
