Reflecting on the Abbott years of leadership in Australian politics elicited a wild mix of amusement, cringe and blind fury as the first episode of the ABC’s ‘Nemesis’ aired last night.

The path to gender equality is not about claiming women are ‘knocking on doors’ or even talking about doors at all.

Former Prime Minister Tony Abbott has delivered a eulogy at the funeral of George Pell, calling him “the greatest man I’ve ever known”.

Ten years to the day since Julia Gillard delivered the misogyny speech, the sexism continues. So too does the frustration.

The calls are growing strong. Could we finally get real paid parental leave that will make the difference we need on shared care?

Julia Gillard was subjected to daily sexism during her tenure. Unlike Morrison, these tactics weren’t employed by anyone within her own party.

Tony Abbott, the suppository of wisdom, has jumped (uninvited) into public discourse to bemoan Coronavirus measures in Australia.

Tony, standing up and telling the world that “virus hysteria” is spreading like wildfire is a claim no one’s buying, writes Tarla Lambert.

Emily Thornberry MP, Labour’s Shadow Secretary of State for International Trade, has labelled Abbott’s appointment “staggering”, saying he is a ‘gaffe-prone misogynist”.

Let’s stop the gender wars. Women do not hold the sole responsibility to have children. It takes two to make a baby and it takes a village to raise a child – so why doesn’t government and workplace policy reflect this?

Tony Abbott says in western countries middle class women do not have enough kids. Women in the welfare system have lots of kids.

Independent MP Zali Steggall today made her maiden speech before a conservative-dominated parliament, calling on them to take action on climate change.
