New Zealand parliament becomes a majority female chamber

Our parliamentary neighbours in New Zealand have officially become a majority female chamber, joining a small handful of nations that have equal or more women in government.

The announcement marks a historical moment for equal representation across the country, giving other nations the opportunity to discuss what they can do to become more inclusive.

Member of the Australian Leadership Index and expert on women in leadership Dr Melissa Wheeler joined Fiona Bartholomaeus for On The Record to discuss what the announcement means for Australia.
