Palu, an agricultural lobbyist, speaks of her background as an agronomist and her contact with country women, setting up rural women groups in mid-1980s in the Darling Downs region, how as a journalist for the Australian Broadcasting Commission she observed a common lack of involvement of women in rural associations because of low self-esteem, how she initiated in 1992 a state award recognising country women's contribution to agriculture and how this developed into a national award, the importance of such an award, her family's cane farming background, her interest in government policy on agriculture, her new role as a lobbyist for the Queensland Farmers Association, her involvement in the Australian Rural Leadership Program, and her future hopes.
