夏洛特·莫特洛克因性别配额的倒退和妇女代表人数的下降而辞去自由党的职务。 Charlotte Mortlock resigns from the Liberal Party over its rollback on gender quotas and declining women's representation.

希尔玛网络创始人夏洛特·莫特洛克已辞去自由党及其在该组织中的职务，理由是前党魁苏珊·莱被罢免以及拒绝包括新南威尔士州40%女性候选人目标在内的性别配额提案。 Charlotte Mortlock, founder of the Hilma Network, has resigned from the Liberal Party and her role in the group, citing the ousting of former leader Sussan Ley and the rejection of gender quota proposals, including a 40% female candidate target in New South Wales. 在她离开之前,该党决定放弃2022年审查中建议的50%的女性候选人目标,将女性自由党议员的人数减少到5人。 Her departure follows the party’s decision to drop a 50% women candidate goal recommended in a 2022 review, reducing the number of female Liberal MPs to five. Mortlock对该党关于两性平等的务虚会表示关切,而包括副领袖Jane Hume在内的其他自由党成员则称她退出为“悲惨时刻”,并承诺继续支持妇女在下次选举前的代表权。 Mortlock expressed concern over the party’s retreat on gender equality, while fellow Liberals, including deputy leader Jane Hume, called her exit a "sad moment" and pledged continued support for women’s representation ahead of the next election.
