Julia Banks a bitter rejected woman?

Hardly. Julia Banks has been appointed a
special advisor in gender and politics at
Gender Equity Victoria. This appointment will
see her support the Board and Staff at Gender
Equity Victoria to develop policies and
programs to improve gender equity in local, state,
and federal politics.

Gender Equity Victoria is the peak body for
gender equity, women's health and the prevention of
violence against women.

Of course some people will continue to try to demean
her - simply proving that what she has to say hits a nerve.
In the meantime she'll continue her work.

Dear Paul,

Julia Banks was the only Liberal MP
to win a seat from Labor at the 2016 election
(her first term in politics after leaving a career
as a corporate lawyer.) She now runs a consultancy business, is a
keynote speaker and a return to politics is not off the table.

cont'd ...

BTW: Banks wasn't the only woman in parliament to
speak out. Lucy Gichuhi, Linda Reynolds,
Kelly O'Dwyer and Julie Bishop each at one time
or another spoke out about bullying. Some of course
retracted their statements when pressure was
applied. Banks refused to be intimidated.

Can't help but wonder what kind of Prime Minister
would Julie Bishop have made?

Unfortunately we'll never know.

Foxy,
You seem to be so impressed by people with a Degree even though the majority are of no value to our society.
Thank God Banks is out as is Bishop ! The Nation is better off not having such people in Govt.
Labor is even more packed with those types than the Coalition hence that Party being perpetual failures ! The Coalition is actually performing ok considering the amount of sabotage they have to deflect from the Left whilst running the Country !

Dear individual,

You opine: "The Coalition is actually performing ok considering the amount of sabotage they have to deflect from the Left whilst running the Country !"

What?

Are you serious?

Even their own ranks are calling out the cockup they have made of the vaccine roll out. Add that to Robodebt, Sports Rorts, looking after aged care, water corruption, a raft of sex scandals, the Deputy PM impregnating a staffer, relatively high unemployment compared to other G20 nations, our international ostracisation over our lack of ation on climate change, and stuff up after stuff up.

Yet you still defend them and say they are being picked on?

Struth you lot are snowflakes.
