Liberal Party clearly anti-women.

Alex Antic is a first-term Liberal, the kind of backbencher who's spent his time stoking culture wars on issues like trans rights and COVID policy. Antic on Monday told The Australian that gender was "a grievance narrative" and it needed to get back to its conservative roots.
Listed third behind Ruston and David Fawcett in 2019, Antic received 687 first preference votes, on a ticket that received more than 413,000.
He's made no secret of his desire to topple Ruston in the years since.
Among moderate Liberals, there's been no shortage of accusations flying around about what's been happening through the membership in recent years. And it's worth remembering that one person's branch stack is another person's membership drive.
Either way, members voted and Antic's efforts have come to fruition.

and so another woman gets relegated while a strident conservative man takes her spot.

so what does Antic have that Ruston doesn't? hehehhaha it doesn't need saying.

so this isn't about Dutton but the party in general that women keep getting knocked off the ticket for men who are players in the game. potential power players that the conservative faction wants to push ahead.

in more plain language the Libs are continuing down the far right path and further from where they need to recover lost seats.

however I read the other day that the party (well some ing the party room) has decided the Libs don't need to win those lost seats. they expect to pick up more unskilled workers.

so Lib supporters are you happy that the Liberal Party is headed for Trump town?

If you look at your argument, WA has a woman leader ( ok, no big deal). So does the NT. NSW has a female Deputy leader. So one of your theories a bit susc.

The LNP in Queensland relegated Stoker below James McGrath in the Senate ticket, and she is much more conservative! So there goes another one of your theories! Sharma won NSW Senate position lately, and he's moderate!

So they just go for males?...Deb Frecklington was tried but to no avail, and she had a lot of good female candidates at the last election, but voters went with the covid scare ( particularly the oldies, hence Bribie Island, Caloundra, Bundaberg et al falling) and Anastasia "keeping them safe". Jacinta Price replaced a female senator in the NT, so no male substitution there, but certainly adds some diversity and huge talent.

Your beloved Labor party has male leader and Deputy at Federal level. Anne Ruston, Perrin Davey have leadership positions in the Senate for the Liberals, and of course Susan Lley, but yes there's many more males overall. But another fact you may like to consider, women have a lot of votes in the party organisation in the Libs and Nats...likely more proportionally compared to Labor caucus, and also many of their conferences. Conservative women, particularly older ones, tend to back males!
