The new Cabinet certainly vindicates former PM Gillards statements regarding "Men in Blue Ties''

i'm not sure what jethro thinks, but i think it should look like men and women, not just men.
portfolio ? unimportant really. they supply the ideology and public servants do the actual work as always.

You will find that many of the countries which have more women in cabinet in Australia have less men per capita to fill the positions. Reasons being that many of those counties have high expectations that their male population will become involved in their military. You cannot compare countries of such diversity without looking at their cultural structure and economic framework.

The other Australian political parties seem to manage OK . that is a lame excuse.

Can you imagine Angela Merkel being subjected to such a mysogynist and disgraceful treatment by male politicians as Julia Gillard was?
I can't, and the reason why German male politicians did not behave like that is probably because they would be too embarassed to look like they didn't learn a thing since the middle ages.
It makes Australia look VERY backwards and i would be embarassed for my country if i was australian.
