Thank you, Chair.
I want to express what an honour it is to have these four elite athletes here. They have represented our country so well on the international stage and have made us all so proud. It's particularly appropriate that they're here the day after International Women's Day, to fight for gender equality and equal pay.
You've explained a bit about the situation you're facing, but I'm wondering if we can dig into why your team makes so much less than the men's team. Does it cost less to train women players? Does it take fewer resources to get girls up to an elite level? Is there something rational there that we can point to?
Any of you can answer that.
