By Annabel Crabb. It's interesting — the Turnbull and Morrison governments both had a lot more women in the Cabinet than the Abbott version. But I'd say easily 90 per cent of the plotting, manoeuvring, number crunching and active undermining over those years was performed by blokes.
It's interesting to note, too, that despite multiple polls showing that Julie Bishop was a popular leadership candidate for the Liberals among voters — in some, she was the most popular — Turnbull, Morrison, Abbott and Dutton all got a chance to lead, and the one female candidate never did. Seems like the "merit" system was experiencing temporary difficulty…. Anyway, stay tuned for more reflections in next week's episode on women in the Liberals…. If you're just joining us, you can catch Nemesis on ABC iview.
