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

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.

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.

Could you name 3?

Which positions would they fill?

Who would they replace?

The country is a bit like the Concordia, listing and about to sink if someone doesn't get the crains in place and get it upright.

Is there any country that does not have more women in cabinet than we do?

Oddly enough, I don't find that hard to believe. Sex appeal may may suck in the male voters but it's hardly a qualification for ministerial responsibility.

 It was announced today that a parliamentary group of Australian female MP's would be travelling to Afghanistan on a study tour.

group spokesperson Str. Michaelia Cash said today that 'the study aims to view the afghan parliament as a model, a model for increasing female participation in senior positions. the afghan parliament has a higher number of women at the top level'

Disgraceful.

Women better represented in Afghan Cabinet than in Australia

PM-elect Tony Abbott today named his new ministry which includes just one woman, Julie Bishop.

Meanwhile our Afghani counterparts have three women in their cabinet.
