hahahahahahahahahaha!
After doing his best to rid us of those pesky female leaders he now wants to use them as positive examples.
In one pic he looked like it was a strain not to pinch the woman on the butt.
He must have forgotten the Richard Nixon history :D:D:D

Prime minister Tony Abbott says women have smashed just about every glass ceiling in Australia referencing female premiers and former prime minister Julia Gillard as examples.
In an address to an International Women’s Day breakfast in which he compared himself to former American president Richard Nixon, Abbott said his wife quipped having three daughters helped turn an “unreconstructed bloke into a feminist”.
“Anyone who is in Australian has won the lottery of life and if you look at our country and the deal that it gives to women; it is obviously pretty good. It wasn’t so long ago as a Sydneysider that there was a female lord mayor, a female premier, a female prime minister, a female head of state in our governor general, a female monarch, obviously, and indeed the richest person in our country was female,” he said.
“So, this is a nation which has smashed just about every glass ceiling, but we need to do more – we need to do more.”
Abbott then spoke about the need for the Coalition’s paid parental scheme saying Labor had started the ball rolling but it needed to go further.
The Coalition’s paid parental leave scheme would give women earning up to $150,000 six months of their wage using a levy on business to fund it.
He acknowledged criticism of the scheme saying it was always “disconcerting” when a traditionalist such as himself came up with something not regarded as a conservative and traditional position.
“It is a bit like when Nixon went to China, conservatives thought, ‘my God, has he suddenly abandoned the faith?’ Progressives thought, ‘my God, is China no longer a progressive country?’ The truth is this was a historic breakthrough,” he said.
PS. some of the comments are hilarious
