The National Rural Women's Coalition visited Parliament House last week as part of the rural, regional and remote women's leadership muster for 2021. Laura Rutherford from Marmor in my electorate was selected to attend. She was also one of the muster winners for this year. This means that Laura will now complete the volunteer project she designed with her community in mind.

Laura's project is to establish a leadership program for high-school-aged girls in cooperation with the schools, local businesses, local government and influential women in the community and abroad. The aim is to establish an ongoing program working with young girls in their middle and final years of high school, giving them exposure to new opportunities and career paths.

I congratulate Laura and I wish her all the best.
