Panic at the Trishco<p>I have a theory that I don’t think we can study for another decade or so:<br>People in the United States are more stressed than normal right now, be it from the political atmosphere or economic turmoil. I think this will lead to a higher incident of car accidents as people are driving stressed and losing focus. <br><a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/hypothesis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hypothesis</span></a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/sociology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sociology</span></a></p>

A strategy that took a further turn for the worse when he told reporters that women who couldn’t get to the office five days a week could instead take on job-sharing roles.</p><p>Dutton’s had almost three years to think about what he could offer women in this election.</p><p>Back in 2022, as Dutton was mere months into his role as opposition leader, he could have acted on some of the recommendations in his party’s own internal report into what went wrong at the Federal election, which found that the party lost significant support among women. The recommendations weren’t particularly hard, never daring to suggest that quotas would be the fastest option for improving women’s representaiton in the party.</p><p>The Liberal party’s internal report also described the need for unity and a “real hunger to win”. Did Dutton at least read that part and realise that the appetite for votes needs to come from men and women? Luckily, the report is still readily available for Dutton, and anyone else to read, on the Liberal party website. </p><p>The question about what Dutton’s offering “modern working women” came from a reporter at the Sydney Morning Herald on Wednesday, who noted that during his campaign there has been lots of talk about mining, construction, energy and agriculture being the four pillars of the economy. But women were mentioned twice during the Liberal Party’s campaign launch: once as victims of crime and a second time as victims of domestic and family violence. </p><p>During Dutton’s speech at the party’s campaign launch over the weekend, he positioned himself as a “protector” of women from crime and terrorism, rather than a leader with ideas and ambitions to enhance women’s economic empowerment and safety.</p><p>As Paula Matthewson has shared on The Guardian today, Dutton is leaving the “female Liberal diaspora” with no more options than they had in 2022 – when so many fled the party to vote for alternatives. </p><p>Dutton has done nothing on female representation, with just six of the 33 mostly safe Coalition seats being held by women. He’s done nothing on policies supporting women’s economic participation. And despite positioning himself as a “protector” and all about the safety of Australians, he’s offered nothing on ending the national crisis of violence against women. </p><p><strong>QUOTE ENDS</strong></p><p><a href="https://infosec.space/tags/AusPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AusPol</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateCrisis</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/WomensRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomensRights</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ShitParty1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShitParty1</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ShitParty2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShitParty2</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FsckOffDutton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FsckOffDutton</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/WhyIsLabor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WhyIsLabor</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/NoNukes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoNukes</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/VoteGreens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VoteGreens</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ProgIndies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProgIndies</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/OzElection2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OzElection2025</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/IncludeAdam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IncludeAdam</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Women" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Women</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/WomensRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomensRights</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Equality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Equality</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Gender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gender</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Sociology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sociology</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Demographics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Demographics</span></a></p>
