By now you will have heard the news.

Before Tony Abbott was elected Prime Minister I was told, by a few different people who know him in a few different ways, that I would be pleasantly surprised by him.

Like Prime Minister Tony Abbott, I am disappointed that the Coalition’s Cabinet contains just 1 woman out of 19 ministers.

Did you watch Q&A on the ABC last night? If not, count yourself lucky.

Tony Abbott is no doubt enjoying former minister Nicola Roxon’s blast against her old political boss Kevin Rudd.

Julia Gillard’s push for the women’s vote has been ramped up again with a photograph of the prime minister knitting in an armchair released by the Australian Women’s Weekly today.

When Julia Gillard became Australia’s first female prime minister in 2010 it seemed as though the country had smashed through the ultimate glass ceiling.

So much for understanding woman.

There is nothing more infuriating than being told to ‘calm down’.

Labor women’s group EMILY’s List will double down in its bid to hold on to the female vote after the dumping of Julia Gillard, as Labor strategists look to cover all bases to steal victory from under Tony Abbott’s nose on election day.

The hapless Sophie Mirabella has brought double trouble for her friend Tony Abbott.

The angst over the lack of women in Tony Abbott’s cabinet is one of the more perplexing political reactions of recent years.
