This matter is going to be considered in the proposed local government review. It is a disgrace that there are 34 local authorities and 231 directors of services.

I agree with Senator Bacik's request to the Leader. I am glad she raised the issue of women's participation in politics. I spent the past couple of years outside this House being somewhat frustrated at not being able to be involved in the wonderful initiative with which she has been identified in trying to improve the numbers of women in politics. Ironically, I wrote the book on it.
