Sure. I mean. Gladys has been a dear friend over a long period of time, and she has served the people of New South Wales so great and I’ve been pretty clear about what I thought about her treatment.
She’s made a decision to go forward a new chapter of her life, and Jenny and I wish her all the very best. She’s been a great friend to Jen and I, particularly over these last couple of years as we’ve worked together to combat the pandemic. NSW has done extraordinarily well, and she’s going to go on to a new chapter of her life.
But, you know, we’ve got great female candidates in particular who are coming to stand in our team. Just yesterday, as Greg Hunt will know, I was down there with Steph Asher in Corangamite yesterday and of course, Dr Fiona Martin standing here right next to me.
So, you know, Gladys has sort of blazed a trail, I think, for women in the Liberal party and so many of the great professional women who are coming forward and standing up as part of our team have been inspired by Gladys’ achievements. So she’s been a trailblazer.
She’s off to blaze a new trail now, but we wish her all the best for her future, and I know that she will continue to provide tremendously strong support to me and my team, and I thank her very much for that.
