Pretty sure they don't have a woman problem, they have an old white man problem.

“No women, no problem!”
Maybe they can specifically ban them from the main organisation like the Freemasons or something
Betteridge's Law of Headlines in full effect here.
Rest in piss LNP. Conservative parties will never change for the betterment of all, only the vested few. The hardships women face in politics are integral to the conservative mindset and wont be defeated from inside. Join/create better parties if you want equality for all.
Yeah the problem now is fuckin one nation. So many people with short memories who refuse to think critically and just want to be arseholes.
The way the Greens are viewed for basically giving a fuck about people and things is terrible. We’re dumb as absolute fuck we are
Apparently initial polls show a big swing amongst conservative men away from One Nation back towards the coalition after Well Done Angus took the leadership.
So the thing that might stop Pauline Hanson's racist agenda is misogyny. I'm honestly not sure which side to cheer for here.
Which would you rather eat, a shit sandwich or a poop milkshake?
Apparently initial polls…
Are they? Well there you go. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised.
You don't have to eat either. The ALP will continue in government for the foreseeable future.
So doing better than those parties isn’t a high bar.
This Labor government aren’t really that great. The housing policies among others are dogshit and pretty much everything else is expected from a ‘progressive’ workers party.
Labor suck, to be honest. Lucky Country Labor. Being better than the opposition we have is no compliment.
Where did I compliment Labor?
It’d be fair to say your comment implies we aren’t eating shit under Labor, which unfortunately for many isn’t true.
Not at all. They specifically played it off as a choice between the Coalition and One Nation, I'm saying that's irrelevant because neither will have any power in the coming years.
As much as I dislike the teals for similar reasons to disliking the Liberals, they at least have some semblance of care and (identity) equality.
They hate workers, but at least they think climate change is happening and that women and LGBT+ people deserve rights.
Would be good for them to fill that niche in AusPol.
They knifed Ley because of their abominable polls.
However, they also have a huge problem with diversity.
She never really had them behind her though. Even from the start, it was called out that she was dead (wo)man after the horrific results (for liberals) from the last federal election
My feeling from her appointment to her resignation, is that they wanted her to lead the party during the turmoil that followed the last election.
It ticks a lot of boxes for them. Hand her this poison chalice where they knew she would have to navigate a lot of difficult challenges. Then at some time prior to the next election (like now) they can replace her with a man, who doesn't have any of that baggage from the last year.
Angus beef Taylor hardly looks like an improvement but eh, at least not cheapo Voldemort again
Pfft, they don't have a women problem. After all, women should be in the kitchen thinking about babies, the family and satisfying their husbands. Why should they think about women? A deputy as a woman is borderline but accepted because they're subservient - as every woman should be.
/S (as if that wasn't obvious)
It sounds like they have shaken their woman problem. /s
