No, it’s to win female votes.
Let's face it, the Queen (as a female & in the scheme of things) doesn't count, she is Not elected by the people. She mostly has to maintain a certain image.
Margaret Thatcher (Hilda as known to her own Tory Party) was quite unique to her “conservative/tory” British party, but as most know, she did not support her “gender” & mostly she could not - surprise, surprise!
Yep, Yup and Yes, this is going to be one heck of an public election in Australia. Doubt if females are going to be duped by a Gillard, Julia, Or females simply “voting” for Tony Abbott for some $$ for parental scheme - it certainly won't be for any one’s “looks”.
