Crying out for leadership – Time for merit based decisions.

I don’t personally know any of Malcolm Turnbull’s new cabinet but highly confident there are more more women in Canberra than this cabinet acknowledges that are qualified and committed to being the leaders we all wish our politicians were

‘Turnbull has elevated just two women this time and one of them, Bridget McKenzie, purely because she is the new Nationals deputy leader. Her portfolio of sport, rural health and regional communications is barely cabinet level.
Once again, competent women such as Julia Banks, Nicolle Flint, and Sarah Henderson must wait, having been overlooked in a Coalition that says quotas on gender are anathema, but defends trashing the merit principle on just about any other grounds.
Turnbull called his line-up diverse. Perverse would be more accurate.’
It will be very interesting to see what cabinet looks like when Bridget McKenize heads up the National Party – some real diversity we all hope
