00:03Lieutenant General Coyle will be the first woman in our nation's history to
00:09command the Australian Army. The government extends our sincere appreciation to the
00:15retiring Chief of Army Lieutenant General Simon Stewart AODSC. Her
00:21achievement means that she will be the first woman to command a service in
00:26Australian history and it is a deeply historic moment, one that should be noted.
00:32As Susan said to me, you cannot be what you cannot see and Susan's achievement
00:40will be deeply significant to women who are serving in the Australian Defence
00:45Force today and women who are thinking about serving in the Australian Defence
00:48Force in the future.
