It’s official. The federal election has been called for May 18 by Prime Minister Scott Morrison this morning. So will our leaders prioritise women?

The Liberal Party’s Federal VP Teena McQueen sure knows how to make an impact, but is it one the Government would be happy with? Ummmm, we’re not so sure.

Previous Liberal MP and now cross bencher Julia Banks admitted that the Liberal Party is decades behind the business world in relation to women.

The former foreign minister and Liberal party deputy Julie Bishop opens up for the first time about the leadership spill in August of 2018.

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.
