I’m reminded that wishes come true on news that 2022 Liberal candidate for Parramatta Maria Kovacic will fill General Molan’s place in our Senate. (Libs’ new senator a win for women, 30/5). With a terrific campaigning debate between her and Andrew Charlton on 2GB’s Ben Fordham show, I wrote in to argue that both advocated well and Parramatta would be a winner either way. Now with them fighting for us in both houses of parliament, the champagne is surely flowing across the West. Certainly Ms Kovacic might have core issues like women’s leadership and migrants rights, but she must not be a single issue senator, instead insightfully making decisions for all Australians for everyone’s betterment. In rebalancing our attitude to chauvinism and leadership, she is surely given the opportunity to prove that the “right to rule” is not a unique male domain and such leadership choices can only be decided on talent.
