As I have indicated, we don't support quotas; we do support targets and we do support efforts to do much better. Indeed, if you look at what is happening right around Australia, you can see that outstanding women are being preselected as candidates for the Liberal and National parties to represent us in House of Representatives electorates and in the Senate. I commend all of them to the Australian people, who should support them at the next election.
