I'm still gob-smacked that this man was elected. 

There are more women in Australia than men, did the women not vote?

He clearly doesn't believe in equality so who voted for him?

Thank you for that.  Excellent.  I fully support the PPL policy.

As Eva Cox said:

"Our workplace culture needs to acknowledge the fact that in the 21st century all of us are human beings with responsibilities and obligations outside of work," she says. "Whether it's parenting or other community responsibilities, better aligning our paid work with outside obligations is a good sign of a healthy society and would probably boost productivity"
