“This program that we’re announcing today will ensure that not only can young girls growing up see it, they can be it.” “I have girls in my electorate – one of the wealthiest electorates in Australia – changing behind trees, giving up sport because they have to change in the car. This is not good enough,” Ms Daniels said on ABC’s QandA program.
“It’s not just about what happens on the sporting field, it’s about what happens in our communities.”
