Tony Abbott says that the Liberals need more women, page-14

Do you not think that if the culture of the conservative side of politics changed then more women might put up their hands for preselection?

Some women have been putting themselves forward.
I think there has been a problem that the party membership pre-select men in safer seats and some of the pre-selected women might contest more marginal seats and lose.
Some of those successful Teal candidates would be the sort of women that the Liberal party members might reject.
