Emma Chalmers
Journalist, The Courier Mail

If you could make a difference to one thing in the world, what would it be?
I would like our community to become one where all children know they are loved and that someone believes in them

What do you say to young women who want to be the leaders of tomorrow?
Pursue something that you enjoy. Don’t feel obliged to study something because it’s a “smart’’ subject, if you don’t enjoy it. Be prepared to work hard for what you want and not always receive instant recognition or gratification. Keep learning and keep challenging yourself

What are you passionate about?
I am passionate about family and friends, politics and good books
