The National Rural Women’s Coalition (NRWC) acknowledges the significant contributions of the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Regional Australia, Warren Truss, and the Minister for Trade and Investment, Andrew Robb, to rural, remote and regional Australia following the announcement of their forthcoming retirements.

We thank Mr Truss and Mr Robb for their leadership, commitment and services to rural Australia and we look forward to working with future ministers who are strong advocates for women and their rural communities.
