Pauline Hanson hasn't had much to say lately. Can't blame her. All she gets is sneers and very few votes. She's probably thinking of retirement on the politicians' fat pension. Time for a new leader: preferably a male.

Jacinta Price hasn't said boo since the Voice fiasco. Not a member of the Liberal Party, the best she could expect is Deputy PM.

Jacinta will prove to be a one hit wonder.

To suggest that either of these women are PM material is absurd. Even the best of women in politics have always played subordinate roles, and always will. There was only one Margaret Thatcher in politics, anywhere in the world. All other women 'leaders' have been disasters.

Not sure about women always playing secondary roles.

We've only to look at history to name just a few:

There's Cleopatra, Catherine the Great, Queen Victoria,
Elizabeth I, Elizabeth II, Golda Meir, Eleanor Roosevelt,
Jacinda Ardern, Julia Gillard, Hilary Clinton,
Madeleine Albright, Angela Merkel, Indira Gandhi, Dame
Quentin Bryce, Benazir Bhutto, Ruth Baker Ginsberg,
and so many more still to come.

Both Pauline Hanson and Jacinta Price certainly stirred
things up.

Good morning Foxy

I appreciate your attempt to generate discussion about a new face / leader in Australian politics. However, I think that nominating Pauline as that person is way off mark. After all, Pauline has never had anything new to say the whole time she has been in politics. Her repertoire has always (and only ever) been a regurgitation or some variation of the old white Australia policy from the early 1900's. Hardly something new or original.

If only we had an Amanda Merkel in Australia.

You don’t seriously expect her to come up with a new rhetoric when the incompetence of the Left remains stoically static ? But hey, thanks for the example of Leftist mentality !

Hi Aries54,

And Good Morning to you too.

There's so much talent in this country. Females have always
held their own. From Edith Cowan, Germaine Greer, Miles Franklin,
Nellie Melba, Joan Sutherland, Betty Cuthbert, Cathy Freeman,
Linda Burney, Ash Barty, Grace Tame, Ita Buttrose, Marcia
Langton, Margaret Tucker, Poh Ling Yeow, and so many younger
ones as well - including women entering politics in the
Teal wave.

The future looks bright in my view. Hopefully gender will
become less important and merit will win out.
