Maybe, just maybe they don't have any women qualified enough to do the tough job required to get this country back on its feet. I am sure if there were women capable they would be on the front bench. All you people who only want to critisize and not give this new government a chance "GET OVER IT"

PM elect Tony Abbott promised a steady hand in govt with no "announcements" or thought bubbles. His front bench has not changed for 3 years so I would expect he'd stick with a winning formula.

As for the "misogynist" tag, well I don't think after he's seen off all the labor smear tactics he's going to buckle under now. Women will get top jobs, women will be promoted to the ministry but as he said, A top team is what he's had for 3 years & what he's keeping in place for the moment.

The phony gender wars waged by the failed Gillard/Rudd disgraceful govt can go jump over its empty rhetoric. Sore losers trying to hang onto anything from the last totally failed Labor is transparent & pathetic really. Move on, or if your incapable of that, move out.

As for the men in blue ties, I'd be ashamed to ever mention that fiasco of Gillards, that's what saw her off, finished her, it was so stupid & desperate & lookee here...... here's someone who doesn't keep up trying to ressurrect it.

What a load of garbage. The country is firmly on it's feet and we have plenty of talented capable women!

Everyone laughed at Julia Gillard and it turns out she was spot on.

BTW. Some of the females on the his side are not happy either.

Not only women.

Queensland LNP senator Ian Macdonald says he has been dropped from Tony Abbott's frontbench, calling it ''one of the worst'' days of his life.

Could you name 3?

Which positions would they fill?

Who would they replace?

Re: Men in Blue ties.

azureline** — Mon, 16 Sep 2013 06:42:12 GMT

it certainly is.... how could that happen?

Re: Men in Blue ties.

icyfroth — Mon, 16 Sep 2013 06:47:42 GMT

Surely you appoint staff on merit rather than gender?

Or maybe, just maybe, it indicates that most women are intelligent enough to know exactly what the Liberal and National Parties stand for.

Fierravanti-Wells; Gambaro; Ley; Payne; etc. - all been dumped.

Who would they replace? Anybody, in order to achieve some balance.
