Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Prime Minister) (14:00): I move: That the House record its deep regret at the death, on 1 March 2025, of the Honourable Dr Rosemary Anne Crowley AO, a former Minister and Senator for the State of South Australia from 1983 to 2002, place on record its appreciation of her long and meritorious public service, and tender its profound sympathy to her family in their bereavement. In the fight to achieve equality for Australian women, Senator Rosemary Crowley blazed a trail with such determination that that trail is still warm. Her momentum was powered by so many ingredients including her Catholic upbringing, her time living in Berkeley, California, during the great heat of its political activism, and, of course, her time practising as a doctor. It was during this time that she joined the dots, later reflecting: My medical work was very much highlighting ill health no individual doctor could solve. Politics seemed the arena where decisions could be made to try to solve these problems. In 1983, she became the first Labor woman from South Australia to enter federal parliament, part of the extraordinary incoming tide of talent that marked the dawn of the Hawke Labor government. Eventually, she would become the first woman from South Australia to become a minister. As a doctor and as a devoted Labor MP, she took such pride in being part of the government that introduced Medicare. And when bulk-billing came under threat in the Liberal Party's Fightback! package, she was ready for what could be interpreted as a small but excusable departure from the Hippocratic oath, saying, 'I will take the fight about Medicare anywhere, anytime, to the people of this country, and beat the opposition on Fightback! dead.' When that threat was seen off by the re-election of the Keating government, she became Minister for Family Services and Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Status of Women. She fought for greater promotion of women in sport, with a particular zest for netball, and for better portrayal of women in the media. She was one of the key organisers of the International Women's Day Breakfast, and she advocated for 50 per cent of elected representatives to be women because she knew the health of Australian democracy depended on it—something, I note, that my government has been able to achieve. It was a democracy she loved for its robustness, and she enhanced it with her own passions, her infectious humour, her spirit of inclusivity and as an enthusiastic participant in caucus committees. Speaking at her state memorial service in Adelaide on Saturday, Rosemary's son Vincent encapsulated the great glow of her personality. She loved art, theatre, opera, dance and dancing—sometimes on the tables of the Senate, from what I've been told. She loved people, not all people all of the time but lots of people lots of the time. And in the words of Senator Penny Wong, she truly lived her values with all the boldness and courage it demands to beat down doors, and the humility, humour and perseverance that's demanded when doors sometimes slam in your face. Thanks to Rosemary, so many of those doors stayed open. She entered parliament quoting the song Bread and Roses, that timeless reminder of the need to nourish the heart as well as the body. It was a theme she carried with her when she left parliament to embark on her next chapter. The story is now at an end but it is a story we will keep telling. Our hearts go out to her sons, Vincent and Diarmuid, who have joined us here, as well as Stephen, her grandchildren and all who loved her. May Dr Rosemary Crowley rest in peace.
