"EMILY's List has changed the face of Australian politics by assisting and encouraging more women into parliament. Having these women at the Caucus and Cabinet decision-making tables is vital if we are to achieve equal representation and voice in our political processes.

But the fight is far from over. I urge you all to support EMILY's List in its ongoing efforts to achieve a truly equal and representative Australia." 

 - JOAN KIRNER AC
