Sussan Ley opens door to quotas to fix Liberals’ gender imbalance
He said he was open to quotas, but he didn’t use the conversation to defend them. “If some state sections choose quota, Ley said, Ley Ley said, Ley said Ley. “If others don’t, it’s good. But what’s not good doesn’t have enough women.”

Ley’s open mind on the quotas is a great break from the party’s former leaders such as Tony Abbott and Malcolm Turnbull. However, former Prime Minister Scott Morrison said that in 2021 it was “very open to the quotas, which did not direct them to implementation.
Ley argued that his leadership would cause more women to be chosen in advance despite others who gave similar hostages in the past.
“My first woman in my position and anyone in my position here, now exists.
Since the Morrison government, the party has lost 33 lower home seats and eight Senate seats. Currently, the party is organizing only two of the country’s 43 urban seats and seven of the 45 outer metropolis seats.
Ley acknowledged that the coalition was “disintegrated ında in the last election, but rejected that the ambition of winning the government, which requires winning more than 30 chairs, was not realistic.
Orum I answer people, if you have not voted for the Liberal Party, you still want us to be a strong opposition. You want the best opposition to deliver the best possible government. We must be serious and reliable. ”
“All this is important. When I take the government into account and we will do it every day, we want to build this alternative agenda.”
Former liberal leader Peter Dutton’s policies such as working from home did not win female voters in the elections.
Shortly after the election defeat, Stockdale, who took NSW liberals from men, complained to “ambitious” women. Stockdale then said that when anyone felt disrespectful, it was intended to be open -hearted and regret.

As Prime Minister, Abbott approved a target to increase the number of women in the Liberal Party, but opposed the quotas. Abbott appeared in ABC after Ley’s speech and continued his stance.
Orum I oppose the quotas, ”he said. “I think basically … Unlike merit and what should be in the heart of our liberal conservative philosophy.”
In 2018, Turnbull said that quotas did not comply with a democratic system of choice of candidates. “I don’t think a quota system can work in a political system,” Turnbull said. He then said that the party should have a gender balance on the candidate election panels.
