What is happening here is that this chamber is denying non-executive members of the government, like myself, the opportunity to ask a question which matters to the women of my state. There are big changes happening this Saturday which we fought tooth and nail for. Hundreds of women walked into this place and shared trauma, stigma and stories of being dismissed and silenced in the hope that our government would change the law, change the way women's health is funded and change their treatment. Things are changing for them this weekend, and I want to be able to ask about it.
