PoliticsLiberals revisit gender quotas in proposals to become a ‘fit-for-purpose political machine’

Australia’s Liberal party is seeking views on gender quotas as one possible intervention to increase the number of women in its parliamentary ranks. The party says stronger female representation is critical to the movement’s long-term survival. Angus Taylor has stated his opposition to the idea. A discussion paper from the Liberal Party Commission warns that achieving a different outcome will require the party to be prepared to do things differently.
