CWA Cobar Branch president Colleen Boucher attended the CWA’s State Conference last week at Royal Randwick in Sydney which celebrated 100 years of CWA. Among the guest speakers at the conference were former pro surfer Lane Beachley and Shane Fitzsimmons, the Commissioner of Resilience NSW and Deputy Secretary Emergency Management. The CWA, which has a reputation for being a hard-hitting lobby group, passed a number of motions at the conference including: calling for urgent action on the quality of health services for rural and regional communities; advocating for the mandatory establishment of specialist domestic violence operative teams in all police districts; calling for increased funding to establish and operate women’s refuges; and advocating for improved obstetric services in rural areas. ▪ Photo contributed
