Aussie Sheilas Should Stop having a Sook
There is a great deal of heat and smoke and allegations of misogyny being hurled around in Aussie politics, but they really need to take pause and stop having a sook, things aren’t as bad as they make out.
As debate rages over sexism and misogyny in Canberra and across the country, a global survey has found Australian women are the most economically empowered in the world.
The study says Australian women are the world’s most economically advanced in terms of access to education, market participation and anti-discrimination policies.
Despite Australia still failing to pay women salaries equal to men – average weekly earnings for women are 17 per cent less than men – the survey by international consulting and management firm Booz & Company found it topped a list of 128 countries in allowing women to play a role as economic agents in their social and political systems.
Australia was followed by three Scandinavian countries — Norway, Sweden and Finland. New Zealand was fifth.
At the bottom of the list were Yemen, Pakistan, Sudan and Chad.
Not much to complain about there, though I’m sure one of the Labour wimmin will find something to carp about.
The Misogyny of NZ First
A Young Nat posted a photo on Facebook of herself with Socialist Cindy at the Big Gay Out.
She took some gentle teasing about having a photo taken with such a raving pinko but that is expected. What isn’t expected is the following abuse from the head of Young NZ First and Board Member of the party, Curwen Rolinson.
I wonder whether Winston thinks it’s appropriate for one of his board members, and the head of his party’s youth wing, to behave like that. He probably does after all he referred to his partner in parliament as an “Associate”.
Jacinda Ardern probably isn’t too happy either about Labour’s preferred coalition partner holding such misogynistic views about women.
Labour is the nasty party, Ctd
Listen to this intro from the interview of David Cunliffe with Paul Henry on Radio Live….you really have to wonder what he was thinking even mentioning Judith Collins in such a misogynistic way. Paul Henry quite rightly mocks Cunliffe.

Just when you thought Labour might discuss policy David Cunliffe reminds us once again that Labour is the nasty party.
