24 August 2009In this speech delivered by Maxine McKew at the NSW Fabians Forum as part of the ALP National Conference fringe events on 31 July 2009, she says:

"I’m aware that gender roles in Labor politics is a galvanising topic. It has been over the years and many have written and spoken authoritatively on that topic. By contrast, I have my own observations of the last two years from inside the Labor tent, and another 30 from outside. I do feel though that, over the years, I’ve acquired a lot of scar tissue in terms of confronting this topic... as we all have."
