100 plus women have now been elected to QLD State Parliament
After 166 years Queensland’s 58th Parliament has now marked 100 plus women elected to our State Parliament — a powerful symbol of the progress we’ve made and the trailblazing women who’ve paved the way.
The incredible courage of pioneers like Irene Longman, Queensland’s first woman elected to the Queensland Legislative Assembly in 1929 paved the way for the women who stand here today. As a Member of Parliament, she couldn’t even sit in the parliamentary dining room, she had to sit on the veranda and there were no female toilets.
Together, we continue the work of breaking down barriers, building opportunities and ensuring a brighter, more equal future for ALL WOMEN.
