Special livestreaming of the event!
As you may be aware, tickets to The Victorian Women's Trust forthcoming event on the 10 November at The Melbourne Town Hall - featuring a keynote address from former Prime Minister Julia Gillard - sold out in a matter of hours. As such, we will now be livestreaming the event so that people everywhere can gather and not miss out on this important address.

Retired independent federal MP, the Hon Tony Windsor will also speak. MC for the event is Mary Crooks AO (author of 'Credit Where Credit is Due'), as well as a special performance of the 'Women's Anthem' with a 250-strong women's choir led by Kavisha Mazzella.
The event is scheduled for Sunday afternoon 10 November 2013 at the Melbourne Town Hall, from 2:00 - 4:00 pm. Entry by ticket only. Doors will open from 1:30pm onwards.
| Due to popular demand, we can announce a special Sydney Screening of the Melbourne event to be held as Sydney's Seymour Performing Arts Centre, live as it happens. A great opportunity for people to come together and experience this special event. Find out more and book tickets here. |
On Friday 5th July 2013, the Victorian Women's Trust took out advertisements in four mainstream newspapers - Fairfax's The Age and Sydney Morning Herald, News Limited's The Herald Sun and the Australian.
Written by Executive Director Mary Crooks AO on behalf of the Board and staff of the VWT, the advertisement
entitled Credit where credit is due, paid tribute to the effective leadership of former Prime Minister Julia Gillard
and her minority government, despite a hostile political environment and discourse.

We have been overwhelmed by the response including donations from across the country, which enabled us to place the advertisement in Italian, Greek and Chinese newspapers.

This blog does not take Anonymous comments. Experience shows that comments cluttered with "Anonymous" are boring and people don't know whether "Anonymous" is one person or many. This is not a decision about freedom of speech. It is a decision about boring or unwillingness to be known by even a pseudonym.
