Shocking

Today we remember the birthday of Dame Enid Lyons (9 July 1897 – 2 September 1981) — Australia's first woman elected to the House of Representatives and the first woman appointed to the Federal Cabinet.

Elected to Parliament in 1943 as a member of the United Australia Party—the predecessor to the Liberal Party, as opposed to the current UAP—Dame Enid helped pave the way for generations of women in public life. Following the formation of the Liberal Party in 1945, she joined its Tasmanian ranks and, after the election of the first Liberal Government in 1949, became Australia's first female Cabinet minister.

In her inaugural speech, she reminded Parliament of the human impact of political decisions:

"I hope that I shall never forget that everything that takes place in this chamber goes out somewhere to strike a human heart, to influence the life of some fellow being... the duty of every government... is to see that no man, because of the condition of his life, shall ever need lose his vision of the city of God."

Her words reflected a deep conviction that public service is ultimately about improving people's lives with compassion, dignity and hope.

The Liberal Party has a proud history of opening doors for women—from Dame Enid Lyons, Australia's first female federal Cabinet minister, to Jess Wilson, the first woman to lead the Victorian Liberal Party.

This November, Victorians have the opportunity to make history once again by electing Jess Wilson as Victoria's first woman elected to lead our state.

Today we honour Dame Enid Lyons—her courage, her faith, her compassion, and her enduring legacy of service. May her example continue to inspire those who seek to serve others with conviction and integrity.

Today Western Victoria MP Bev McArthur and Graham Watt - Liberal for Western Victoria Region joined Jess Wilson and her team in Bendigo to double down on our position. The ESVF is an unfair, unnecessary tax which penalises our volunteer first responders!

Volunteers in Victoria's emergency services provide over $1 Billion's in services to the Victorian public. They do not deserve to be slugged with an extra tax! A Wilson Coalition Government in November will SCRAP THE TAX

This is such an important issue! This is our election promise!

A wilson Coalition Government will SCRAP THE TAX!

Join Bev McArthur MP tomorrow in Bendigo and join us in sending a strong message to this terrible Labor Government.
