A senior Liberal Party figure has broken ranks with the party, calling for quotas to get more women into parliament and criticising the party’s attitudes towards women.
Kathryn Greiner, a businesswoman and Liberal Party member of more than 50 years and the wife of federal Liberal president Nick Greiner says the Liberal Party organisation is less female-friendly than during the 1980s and “had not kept pace” with broader society.
Ms Greiner also backed calls from two former Liberal staffers for the party to reform its complaints process after they said their allegations of workplace sexual assault were dismissed.
