Discrimination against women and their daughters, as well as issues of domestic violence, should never, ever be tolerated by our community – or any community, says MP Chris Hayes.
The federal member for Fowler was speaking at a celebration of International Women’s Day in his electorate at Bonnyrigg on Monday.
The event, organised by the Spanish and Latin American Association (NSW SLASA) and Community First Step, included music, Zumba, cultural foods, and a variety of music.
This year’s theme was about achieving gender equality to address the discrimination that still exists amongst certain countries in the world.
Mr Hayes said the issue was a case of basic fairness.

“Today is a great opportunity to acknowledge the contribution women make in our community, in particular in our families,” Mr Hayes told the gathering, one of many across the south west.
