Gender is a powerful force that shapes Australia's political
leadership. Gender impacts the politics, government and policies of
our nation. It influences the public lives of all political
leaders. It affects how they interact with political institutions
and cultures, with each other and how they are treated by the
media. It can also shape who we see as strong and capable leaders.
Yet, there is a lack of diversity in leadership positions across
the political system and accusations of bullying and a toxic
culture in our political parties are rife. So what impact does this
have upon how Australia is governed and what might be done about
it? From the debates on gender quotas to the 'bonk ban', from Julie
Bishop's failed leadership bid to Scott Morrison's cultivated
'daggy dad' persona, from the treatment and legacy of Australia's
first female prime minister to the machinations of our political
parties and parliament, this book explores the subtle and overt
operation of gender politics in Australia. Gender Politics is a
provocative and urgent collection that re-examines the way we
navigate power and leadership in Australian politics.
