Local women's group Women's Centre for Change (WCC) calls for the women and gender portfolios to be reinstated as individual portfolios in the State Government Executive Council (Exco) lineup.

"We are concerned that the women and gender portfolios have been incorporated under the new and wider portfolio of Social Development because we believe that women and gender should remain individual portfolios," WCC said in a press statement.
