Well, 28 councils now, Chris, have, uh, over 50%... 50% or over 50% representation out of the, uh, 79 councils.

Um, we're at 43% of female, uh, representation across the local government councilor sector.

So I think we're s- we're, we're seeing that momentum, and there's a target to get that to 50%.

So I think it's about, um, the onboarding of, um, female candidates, the support that's provided there.

Really, the, some of the work that's done by the VLGA is so critical in that support.

But also as well, we've got to call out some of the challenging, um, challenging and gendered, uh, impacts that our councilors have and council candidates have when they put themselves forward.

What are your views on the conduct regime and whether it needs any further tweaking, I hesitate to say?

So tell us about it.

Yeah, so we are in our, I know they've been saying different numbers, but we're actually in our 23rd year.

But Jordan confirmed on the film freeway it's the 23rd.

It is kind of messed up because of the COVID.
