More women than ever were elected into the Australian Parliament this year, 58 MPs now making up 38% of the chamber, the highest ever on record. Only for one party, representation went backwards.

But are there plans in place to change that, to bring more women and a more diverse selection of people into the Liberal fold so can they make a difference before we go to the polls again in a few years time?

Today we speak to Charlotte Mortlock, a former journalist who's trying to change the Liberals from the inside out.
