Queensland senator Amanda Stoker, promoted to the federal government frontbench this year to help drive change in the treatment of women, is backing the only man in a five-candidate field for a critical preselection race.
Defence Minister Peter Dutton, the most senior federal Queensland Liberal MP, has written a letter of support for 33-year-old Maggie Forrest, the LNP’s honorary legal counsel, who he described as a “person of substance and integrity”. He has also written a reference for Mr Pike. “Henry doesn’t wilt with the kitchen gets hot. Even under pressure, he acts with good judgement, clarity and confidence.”
LNP members, who risk expulsion for speaking public about preselection tussles, say Senator Stoker’s attempts to influence the race could backfire. Senator Stoker’s appointment to her position earlier this year was criticised because she had been vocally anti-abortion and been accused of anti-trans rhetoric.
I don't understand the issue here. If she has to throw her support behind a woman isn't that discriminaing against men. I'm sorry but you can't have your cake and eat it too.
LMAO
