I must admit I’m pretty hands off when it comes to politics and I don’t normally write about it here. I will say that I never ever voted for John Howard – couldn’t stand the man.

I can also very confidently say that I will never ever vote for Tony Abbott either. He came up in conversation the other night with a more politically savvy friend than I and she was literally shuddering when she talked about how sexist and right wing he is – to the detriment of women.

Pavlov’s Cat puts it very succinctly and I urge you to read it, especially if you’re a young woman or if you are concerned for the rights of women at all.
