I was pleased to be invited as a community leader, to celebrate with an inspiring business leader and CEO, Gail Kelly, of Westpac at their luncheon celbrating 200 years on 2 April 2014 in Sydney. I was most pleased to hear that Westpac has set up a Bicentennial Foundation and allocating $100million to scholarships and grants, investing into the future for Australia. It is good to see banking institutions that makes a lot of profits, also give back to the Australian people. This is a much welcome initiative and I applaud Westpac and Gail Kelly on this wonderful news. There are several women leaders that I admire in Australia. Gail Kelly and Hon Julie Bishop are certainly amongst them, and are strong role models to many women.
