Liberal MP Dr Fiona Martin says "the left wants to see more women in parliament" but is also "very quick to attack women on the conservative side" of politics when they want to run. Dr Martin said the real questions that should be asked of politicians is what skills, experience, and characteristics they bring to the table, stating she did not go to Canberra "to fill a quota", but rather to contribute to national policy.
There aren't enough women on the right side of politics to attack FionaMartinMP . Labor federally has about 50% Liberals have about 20%. Typical of the Mysoganist party that it is.
Like the attacks on Gillian Triggs and Julia Gillard and Magda? Right wing cancel culture in action

'Another attempt by the left' to intimidate a conservative women | Sky News AustraliaNSW One Nation Leader Mark Latham says the treatment of Natasha Maclaren-Jones in the state's parliament was an attempt by the left to 'intimidate and shout down a Liberal-Conservative woman'.\n\n'I've served in all three levels of government, I've seen stoushes at local councils, I've seen them at federal parliament, but nothing like this,' he said.\n\n'As I saw it, there was an attempt by two-Labor left-wing men to intimidate verbally and physically the conservative woman who was trying to assume the chair.\n\n'You've got to ask the question, where's the ABC that ran a three-month campaign in Canberra about the treatment of women?' RealMarkLatham Wasn't what she did illegal? RealMarkLatham Mark never mentions he is a One Nation member or names One Nation policy. Or his boss Pauline. He's only in it for the graft RealMarkLatham Who cares, Mark Latham is a sorry excuse for a human being.

Government's childcare boost a 'productivity measure' particularly for women | Sky News AustraliaLiberal Senator Jane Hume says the Morrison government’s $1.7 billion announcement for childcare is absolutely a “productivity measure” rather than a “welfare measure” because it looks to incentivise women in particular to rejoin the workforce. \n\n“BCA tell us that around 90,000 people last year didn’t return to the workforce or didn’t enter the workforce because of the cost of childcare, they cited that as their number one reason,” she told Sky News.\n\nMs Hume said the government estimated the boost would allow around 40,000 people to increase their workload by about one day per week – which would add about $1.5 billion per annum to the GDP. \n\nShe also pointed out the Morrison government’s plan was more targeted than Labor’s proposal – which would see subsidies offered to families earning up to $530,000. \n\n“It’s specifically targeted to getting low and middle income earners … and particularly those with a second child, they’re the ones that disproportionately bear the burden of the costs of child care and are the ones that feel that disincentive to returning to the workforce,” Ms Hume said. \n\n\n\n SenatorHume SocialistScotty SenatorHume It that case I request a personal 'productivity measure' in the form of a $100k annual stipend so I can focus on becoming the world's best expressionist painter, without worrying about the rent.

Most jobs has been outsourced/insourced/work&business visa/ state sponsored&skilled visa, immigration etc. Nothing left here.Just casual & gov adhoc jobs! All jobs moved to india/singapore/asia. No patriarchy does Childcare in Aus is frightfully expensive. My wife wanted to return to part-time work, but childcare was more expensive than what she was bringing home. Here (in Japan) we payed around 250 per month + 60 for lunches.
