I am very proud to know these Kambah women from my electorate. I am really pleased to see that Canberra women are being recognised.

Across Australia, women received 422 awards, which sounds great and is the highest number and percentage we have ever had, but still only 37.4 per cent of the awards went to women. Unfortunately, the ACT did not do brilliantly, as only 32.9 per cent of our recipients were women. I look forward to the future. We have to nominate more women. There is a female majority here in the chamber, so I can say that we are doing the work. We are as valuable contributors as our male counterparts in Australia and Canberra; we should nominate our peers and they should be recognised.

MADAM ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Ms Lee): Order! The time allotted for the debate has expired.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

The Assembly adjourned at 4.51 pm.
