Charlotte Mortlock - Former Sky News journalist, is behind the drive called Hilma's Network to get more women in politics. 

Mortlock thinks more women need to be involved in the Liberal party at a grass roots level for change to occur at the top. 

The former journo decided to start a network with one goal: flood the Liberal party with women and bring young women back to the conservative side of politics.
