They sit at opposite ends of the political spectrum, but Labor’s Tanya Plibersek and Liberal Sussan Ley agree on at least one thing: quotas.

The MPs called for a commitment to equal representation in parliament during Future Women’s inaugural HerVote event in Sydney tonight. As budget week came to a close, more than 150 women gathered in Darlinghurst to hear from emerging candidates and leading female politicians ahead of the Federal election.
