The former deputy leader of the Liberal party will not contest the next election, making a quick speech and exit this afternoon.

For some time it’s been obvious that the federal Coalition & the Liberal Party in particular, has a significant “woman problem” but it’s not just them.

The Victorian Labor government has achieved a gender equal cabinet for the first time with the appointment of three new women.

The Morrison government has been dealt a critical blow this morning, after influential MP Julia Banks quit the Liberal Party in favour of the crossbench.

Former PM Julia Gillard, has urged the Liberal Party to reconsider its view on gender quotas if its objective is to see more women in Parliament. 

We could soon have a ‘MANdrew’ problem occurring in politics also where men called Andrew start to outnumber women called…anything at all.

Despite a growing number of voices making the case for quotas in the Liberal party the Prime Minister Scott Morrison disagrees. He says women need support.

Julia Banks, Lucy Gichuhi and Kelly O’Dwyer are among those to speak out about the treatment of women in the Liberal party.

The Liberal Party room is dominated by male MPs who anoint leaders in their own image. It’s not a woman problem that’s the issue.

Julie Bishop confirmed Sunday that she was resigning as Foreign Affairs Minister and would not serve in Scott Morrison’s Cabinet.

A string of preselections in which sitting MPs may lose their seats has put the subject of women in the liberal party firmly in view.

NSW Liberal Women’s Council Chantelle Fornari-Orsmond says women’s representation in the Liberal party is not a priority or taken seriously.
