Leadership Is Reserved For The Right Kind Of Man
The federal Liberal Party returned to their spots, as the beast that reckons females have their place beneath a man. For many years, the Libs argued that it was purely based on merit why they had so few women in positions of power. Pull the other one boys. This sons of Anglo-settler political party sees power as the natural home of men born to rule. Going to the right private school and ascending gracefully via a network of old boys is the Liberal Party way. Sure, the odd woman, who can act like a bloke, is neither here nor there; but leadership is reserved for the right kind of man.
Sussan Ley Was Not The Right Kind Of Leader/Man
The proof is in the pudding folks. Over some 82 years, how many female leaders have the Libs had at the federal level? One. Only one, you say, and how long did she last? Not very long. 276 days in fact. The second shortest stint as leader ever, after Alexander Downer – and he was born to rule, if you go by mummy and daddy. Sussan was a bit shrill, there is no denying that. However, what you get in Aussie politics is women who feel that they have to act like men to compete. It is an evolving situation and things on the Labor/Green side are getting better re-female representation and what it is like for them. Power is a shit fight. Power seekers are not nice people, generally. Yes, you heard it here first, folks.
Right Wing Men See The World As A Place To Be Led By Them
Malcom Turnbull, a former Lib PM, who was ousted by the lying Scott Morrison, hit the nail on the head, when he called out the populist, Sky News Australia, dog eating its own vomit proclivity of the current Liberal party. The odious, leering Tony Abbott and his equally vile former chief of staff, Peta Credlin, have been beating the far Right drum to the detriment of the once successful centrist Right political party. Sucking up to Donald Trump and his cabinet of extremist nutjobs and billionaire crooks is not going to win any elections downunder. Abbot, another former Lib PM, was rejected by his own party as leader before being seen off by his electorate. Since then, Tony Abbott has appeared more and more bitter and deranged. If the Libs keep listening to Tony and Peta they are bound for further obscurity. One Nation is putting them in the shade already. Toxic masculinity is not a big vote winner in federal elections in Australia. There are only so many tradies to go around. The LNP has gifted them large tax breaks on their work vehicles and diesel rebates for their mates as well. There are ‘so-called’ tradies driving around in Utes costing half a million dollars.

Apparently, Sussan Ley is giving the game away, after her dumping by the bloke-centric Liberal Party of Australia. She didn’t understand that leadership is reserved for the right kind of man. The few moderates lefts in the Libs, those that have not deserted to Teal independents, could not hold the line against the hard Right boys and traitors like Hume. Is there anything worse than a traitor to something as fundamental as your sex? Women who believe that coming second is their natural place, betray their sisters and daughters. The Liberal Party of Australia is no role model for our younger girls growing up today to aspire to. Populist backward thinking dominates this minor political party.
“The Liberal Party waited eight decades to name a woman to lead it, and in the end, they couldn't stomach it for even a year.
Perhaps that was always the plan. From the moment Sussan Ley won the ballot, cementing her status as one of parliament's firsts, some colleagues were already counting down to the day she fell.
New leaders tasked with cleaning up the effluent of a lost election rarely make it to the Lodge.”

It does not take Cher, straddling a naval artillery gun, to tell me that you cannot turn back time. Populist pretenders like Pauline Hanson cannot make Australia into a racist small town with a mouthy fish and chip shop owner slagging off immigrants and refugees. Anglo-racists will not destroy the tolerance Aussies, who live in the cities, have for their multicultural Australia. How many seats do One Nation have in the house of representatives? One. And they only got that via Barnaby Joyce defecting to them. One Nation = one seat. Labor = 94 seats. What we do have in Australia is a right wing legacy media dominated by the Murdoch press. This gives a distorted view of the Australia. Thus, the BS around One Nation. We could do with a media landscape that actually reflects who we are as Australians, instead of News Corp pushing its own Right wing agenda. Donald Trump is not popular downunder. Gina Rinehart, the billionaire funder of the Right who now lives in America, is not reflective of who we are. Clive Palmer ditto. We need to stand up to these oligarchs who want to rule us. There is too much influence being bought by rich people and companies downunder. These individuals and corporations do not even pay their fair share of tax. Wake up Australia.
White Australia & News Corp
“A guy throws a bomb into a crowd of thousands of people. Luckily it does not go off, but if it had, it would have killed and maimed possibly hundreds of people. His lawyer successfully argues to have the bomb thrower’s name suppressed on the grounds of protecting his safety. WTF? What kind of country do we live in? Our justice system protects the anonymity of a wilful bomb thrower who wanted to hurt and kill Aboriginal people and managed to disperse a peaceful protest. White Australia worries about the safety of a bomb throwing terrorist. This is what is wrong with our justice system. Protecting perpetrators at the expense of our right to have these scumbags named and shamed. This happened in Perth on Invasion/Australia Day. There has been very little media coverage of this bomb throwing event in the right wing media, which dominates the Australian media landscape. Strange that, perhaps if it wasn’t at a brown skinned gathering it would have been given more attention by the Murdoch press.”
