they are appointed because they are women instead of because they are the most competent.
Shadow Minister,
Yes, many people are appointed because they're highly qualified yet very incompetent !

Steele,

Hear! Hear!

The Abbott government was far more competent than the Gillard government.

Has anyone else noticed that General Motors, [including Holden] have been a total disaster area since they appointed a lady CEO.

Every lady state Premier has been a total disaster, present company included.

As mainstream education has become dominated by ladies the quality of our kids education, & the results they achieve have fallen substantially, & continue to fall.

The only lady PM thought her greatest claim to fame was the passing of more hindering red tape new laws per sitting of parliament than any other parliament.

As more news room staff, anchors & reporters jobs in TV news have been taken over by ladies the quality of news has slipped to being similar to what I believe is called moms net.

I could go on, but I think the point is made.

mhaze,

You say that the Abbott government was far more
competent that the Gillard government.

Tony Windsor, Rob Oakeshott and Bob Katter didn't
think so.

And there are many others who'd disagree with you.
She did remarkably well with a minority government
and such a wrecking-ball of an opposition - destruction
for destruction's sake.

Thank God the man's gone.

There is something odd about Tony Abbott.

He is very odd indeed. After taking that famous bite out of that onion he didn't ask any of the guys in his entourage if they wanted a bite as well.

Now that was a very odd thing for Tony Abbott to do! That is, not asking if anybody else wanted a bite of the onion.
