It would certainly be interesting for someone to do a study, into the percentage of men and women actively involved, in pursuing a career in politics at the rank and file level.
Most ot the women in my circle of family and friends, aren't interested in politics at a conversation level, let alone actively pursuing a career in it.
However I find men argue over politics with great enthusiasm, so if for example a study found as a percentage there is an 80/20 bias toward men wanting a career in politics, wouldn't that be reflected to some extent in the numbers in office?
IMO it is a bit like comparing the number of men Vs women in any careers, I worked in the trades and there were far more males than females worked in them, however every girl that applied for an apprenticeship actually obtained one, that was the case in all the heavy industries I worked in.
Just a thought.
That is exactly the same issue, my wife worked as an RN in aged care and it is true what they say about the lifting, but it is also true that women have more of a caring nature. The wife enjoyed working there, because she felt she was making those older people's lives better, in a small way.Very good point.
I saw a report the other day that female aged care workers wanted more men in that industry because of the heavy lifting involved !
And all the fems were saying that women can do anything men do.
Some people should take a reality check, men and women are sometimes interested in different things, you can't expect equal numbers in every area.

Gender isn't a stereotype, it's a biological reality, even if there is a substantive overlap.I used to be on the interview panel for electrical apprenticeships in a government organisation.
Long story short, males accounted for the overwhelming majority of applicants so it's no surprise they accounted for the majority of those who were successful.
It's a reality that gender stereotypes are still rife in society and that goes for both genders.
The reason he lost is because people are sick of marketing tricks and want a genuine government that will solve problems.Scomo believes there is a marketing solution to every problem. Personally I think that the party needs to go back to what it used to stand for which is not high spending, look after big business in front of small business Republican style tactics.

Morrison and his lot need to be out at least two terms to change the laundry and regain trust.
Dutton is not the man for the job with his bull headed approach.
Dutton should give Labor 3 terms but then again I said the same thing about AbbottThe reason he lost is because people are sick of marketing tricks and want a genuine government that will solve problems.

Personal opinion: It shouldn't be the government's job to give us a "deal". This is the problem with democracy and why the irrevocable path is to self destruction.The reason he lost IMO, is because people think the opposition will give them a better deal, time will tell.
I don't know if you haven't noticed, but everyday there seems to be another cause with their hand out, for the Government to pour money into.Personal opinion: It shouldn't be the government's job to give us a "deal".

The job of the government should be restricted to maintaining Law and order protecting borders, provide infrastructure and a *basic* safety net, and to stay out of our f****** lives and let us create.
Have the forms changed in the last 3 weeks? I doubt it.I just looked at the forms I have to fill in, to get the Commonwealth Seniors Health Care card, they can keep it.
I can now see where my 90 year old MIL is coming from.

The days of people wanting to have the Government out of their lives , is long passed, now the mantra is get the Govt into your life and problem solved.

No actually not looking for a ride at all, did you apply?Have the forms changed in the last 3 weeks? I doubt it.
Realistically, it's probably just a case of you expecting a magic carpet ride.
Fortunately that will all come to an end now.Actually the biggest recipient of handouts are corporations starting with $40 bil blown to the wind 1/2 weren't even Australian.
