A message for Australian women and girls everywhere…

It’s taken 107 years, and whether you believe Australia should become a republic, or you’re reluctant to cut ties to Mother England, there can be no denying that yesterday was a great day in Australian politics with the appointment of the first ever female Governor General.
Ms Quentin Bryce, the current Queensland Governor, former lawyer, human rights advocate, academic, federal sex discrimination commissioner, mother of five and grandmother of five, described her appointment as ‘a great day for Australian women’.

Congratulations Prime Minister Rudd on your decision.

Ms Bryce said, ‘What this day says to Australian women and Australian girls is that you can do anything, you can be anything.’

And you can…
