Minister Calls For Gender Quotas in Parliament

Senior Liberal cabinet minister Karen Andrews says that it’s time for the Liberal Party to consider introducing quotas to get more women into parliament. 

 

Ms Andrews says she’s ''had a gutful'' of the treatment of women in parliament as a male Coalition staffer was sacked last night due to allegedly performing a lewd sex act on the desk of a female Liberal MP. 

 

Labor and Greens staffers conducted a sit-in at parliament’s meditation room this morning arguing they wanted to send the message that they’ve had enough of the culture.
