Eildon MLA Cindy McLeish has praised a local women’s networking group.

“A group of like-minded women in the Murrindindi and Mitchell shires have got together to form the women’s networking group Dirty Heels,” Ms McLeish told the Legislative Assembly.

“I want to commend the founders, Sharon Hedger, Alison Elliot, Alison Rouget and Vicki Kennedy, for this much-needed local initiative, which is aimed at supporting and connecting women with women.

“I have attended a couple of their events and I highly recommend the group, noting that many people do turn up to those meetings with dirty heels as this is very common in the country,” Ms McLeish said.
