Julie Bishop says she may have only been included in Abbott’s cabinet because of her position as the elected deputy leader of the Liberal Party.

Even the most trusting individual would be moved to raise an eyebrow at the latest advice proffered by former Prime Minister, Tony Abbott.

Reflecting on the Abbott years of leadership in Australian politics elicited a wild mix of amusement, cringe and blind fury as the first episode of the ABC’s ‘Nemesis’ aired last night.

The path to gender equality is not about claiming women are ‘knocking on doors’ or even talking about doors at all.

Former Prime Minister Tony Abbott has delivered a eulogy at the funeral of George Pell, calling him “the greatest man I’ve ever known”.

Ten years to the day since Julia Gillard delivered the misogyny speech, the sexism continues. So too does the frustration.

The calls are growing strong. Could we finally get real paid parental leave that will make the difference we need on shared care?

Julia Gillard was subjected to daily sexism during her tenure. Unlike Morrison, these tactics weren’t employed by anyone within her own party.

Tony Abbott, the suppository of wisdom, has jumped (uninvited) into public discourse to bemoan Coronavirus measures in Australia.

Tony, standing up and telling the world that “virus hysteria” is spreading like wildfire is a claim no one’s buying, writes Tarla Lambert.

Emily Thornberry MP, Labour’s Shadow Secretary of State for International Trade, has labelled Abbott’s appointment “staggering”, saying he is a ‘gaffe-prone misogynist”.

Let’s stop the gender wars. Women do not hold the sole responsibility to have children. It takes two to make a baby and it takes a village to raise a child – so why doesn’t government and workplace policy reflect this?
