Thank you Minister @MarisePayne. I would be proud to serve. I am working hard to ensure that our region is reflected & represented on #CEDAW. The support of government & #civilsociety is crucial to the Committee’s success.
I strongly support @NStottDespoja, an excellent candidate for #CEDAW. She would be the first Australian since 1992 to be a member of the Committee.🇦🇺🇺🇳
