I congratulate Sir Bob Dadae on his re- election.

I am also deeply grateful to Her Excellency Winnie Kiap for affording Parliament a very rare opportunity to rise above ourselves. Even though we didnt take the opportunity, I felt deeply grateful that in our society where women and girls are continuously marginalized, you have stood tall and exemplified what PNG women can do.

You gave 33 MPs the opportunity to speak for our women. I thank you for this rare honour. To our womenfolk, let me assure you that you have voices in Parliament as you saw today.

I regret that we couldn't muster the numbers to elevate an exceptional and competent woman citizen but unfortunately, this is our level in a male dominated society.

There is a growing recognition in the abilities our women can bring to the table. It is my hope that we will see better outcomes for our women in the future.

Take heart.
