If we want women in politics, we must recognise that there are particular issues which need to be addressed head on. I have discussed this briefly with Senator Cox in the past. I congratulate her on her commitment to this issue and to being a politician and a parent. I know about the difficulties involved, although my children are not as young as those of Senator Cox. Politics is a most family unfriendly profession because of the hours worked, the times of meetings, etc. One is expected to put aside one's role as a parent or as a member of a family for the public good. Let us face it, there are times when one asks oneself why one does so.
