Don't run candidates against our women: Lib MLC
Dec 6^th, 2018 at 1:04pm

Michael O'Brien elected Victorian Liberal leader, replacing Matthew Guy after state election loss

The following excerpt is interesting:

Quote:

Upper House MP Bernie Finn said the campaign was "disgraceful" because it failed to properly communicate with voters.

He also lashed out at criticism from Labor about the lack of women in Liberal ranks.

"If the Labor Party and the Greens want to have more women in the Liberal Party, what they should have done is not defeated them, that would have been a very good thing if they hadn't run against our women," Mr Finn said.

Are you kidding me? He's trying to blame Labor for the lack of female Liberal MPs? As long as Liberal MPs keep thinking like this, they are never going to fix the fundamental problems with the Liberal party.

Labor has every right to field candidates and the Libs have a tendency to put female candidates in marginal seats. The Liberals should put the blame for the lack of female Liberal MPs where it properly lies: the Liberals' not putting them up as candidates in safe seats.

You are not entitled to your opinion. You are only entitled to hold opinions that you can defend through sound, reasoned argument.
