Liberals favour experience over tokenism

Fact two: Conservative women are stayers.

The Liberal Party shows that women can have long and influential careers, without a patronising affirmative action system.

As Michaelia Cash, Liberal Senator for Western Australia, points out: "Eight of the 10 longest-serving women in the Commonwealth Parliament since 1901 are Liberal women."

By way of contrast, many of Labor's female politicians have disappointed voters. While elites have benefited from a quota system, the people below them often don't feel the same way.

There's a reason why, for example, Queensland kicked out former Premier Anna Bligh and it's not because Queenslanders are sexist pigs.

Fact three:Labor's mixed messages make little sense.

As previously stated, I voted for Liberal candidate Sarah Henderson this year. What I didn't note, however, was that she was viciously attacked by the Labor machine.

So, on the one hand, we have Laborites saying that there aren't enough Liberal women in Canberra. On the other, they're happy to relentlessly undermine female Coalition candidates.

Henderson lost in 2010 but won in 2013, meaning that she has less experience, in part, because of Labor's slime ball politics. Is that Abbott's fault or the ALP's?

Somewhere, Sophie Mirabella is scratching her head too.

Fact four: Coalition women don't see themselves as victims.

Part of our Left's anger at Abbott stems from the myth that women are fragile flowers in need of set-asides.
