It is well known by some, that the Conservative side of politics is an old boys club, populated by male misogynists like Tony Abbott. The Liberal Party had to be dragged kicking and screaming before it would even consider giving capable women the opportunity they deserved in government. Often when they did select a woman candidate it was more for the look of her rear end than for any cranium matter she might have possed. Women candidates were often thrown an un-winnable seat and told to be satisfied.
I thought the party had changed, but not so, last week they dumped Jane Prentice, LNP member for the federal seat of Ryan and Assistant Minister for Disability Services. Jane has done a capable job in her portfolio and certainly deserved endorsement, but the old men of the LNP said no, preferring yet another one of their own. Not content with one female gone the party is now moving to oust another, MP Anne Sudmalis, is locked in a fierce contest to retain preselection for the seat of Gilmour. I though the Liberal Party had manned up and was starting to come on board with women in parliament, but alas with these decisions its still in my view an old boys club. Their cow cocky mates in the National Party are even worse, beyond redemption.

Paul must be in trouble at home, & is hoping to win a few brownie points with this piece of rubbish.

You would think that even a lefty would have noticed that it is since the "ladies" got hold of the education system, that our standards are falling faster than a rock from 30,000 feet.

The same goes for government services at local, state & federal. Not one of the girls club here in Queensland would be capable of running a school tuckshop, let alone a state.

Every female premier Labor has inflected on long suffering states has been a catastrophe, even worse than departments run by their brethren.

The libs were showing a considerable improvement in the standard of government before the effeminate Turnbull added too many skirts to the mix.

Hasbeen,I have to agree. Over the years, I have been sickened by the push for 'more women' EVERYWHERE! Enough is enough. Call me all the stupid names you want, Idon't care. I have always maintained that the role of leader must be one of strength and able to stand his ground in a fight. A woman was not designed with these masculine attributes in mind.
A true 'woman' has a plethora of emotional luggage that does not bode well for them at certain times and situations. Millions of people look to a man for guidance and advise. The same people 'might' look to women for comfort and support. I hired people on their merits not on PC. Since when did women stop wanting to be women? This new-age woman is, by definition, a contradiction in fact. Again, I'm about to cause a tremor in the force. One of the main failures of our system today is because of the direct link to women being told they can do anything they want and that they are just as good as any man. Germaine Greer was one of first maggots to push her arrogant agenda, only to turn around years later and appologise for her part in pushing the female cause. That alone should be enough for women to take stock and retreat to the comfort afforded them by being a woman. I can see what a woman has to go through each morning just to get ready for work, why can't they? It's like your in the dressing room backstage at a theatre prior to the show. Every working day? I can understand if your an actor, but just to go to work? NAH! It's all wrong. Do I prefer things the way they were? Yes! Have things improved over time? NO! This womens liberation thing was started (as usual) by a noisy few and picked up and promoted by an ignorant many. I hope PC is dragged kicking and screaming into a very deep hole and buried once and for all, thereby starting the return to reason and common sense.

Although the Prentice electorate has nothing to do with me, I was initially quite miffed that she had been dumped for another candidate, but I have since learned that she is a dud. Seeing that the decision was made by actual members of the Liberal Party, who want the best candidate for the job, the rest of us should mind our own business.

All this moaning and groaning about women is divisive identity politics from the Left. I've just asked my wife if she thinks any of the women in Canberra are doing a good job. She said no. I've asked myself if there are men in Canberra doing a good job. No, I told myself. Politics and ability have nothing to do with gender. But, while this nonsense about gender is going on, we should try not to blame women themselves for the vicious yahooing of the feminazi and their limp-wristed supporters calling themselves men.

Well, I can see the mysogynists are out in force today. I'll just leave you guys to it, shall I?

But I found a song I think you guys will like:

Rather than "push" for more women in Parliament simply for more women's sake. push for more competence & some integrity male or female & others. If a woman is more competent than her male competitor then by all means let her have the job.
Of course this would de-stabilise the cushy public serice because what if a male happens to be more competent ? Or, what if a transgender should ever muster such qualification & stands against an indigenous feminist ?
For integrity to infiltrate bureaucracy would be welcome miracle.
