Mr PALMER (Fairfax) (14:19): Prime Minister, it is 114 years since women received the vote—a long time ago. It took them 41 years to get a member in parliament, yet in your ministry you have got a significantly lower proportion of women than voted at the elections. Does the government think Liberal women members are less worthy or of lower merit— Government members interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Fairfax will resume his seat. Members on my right will cease interjecting. I cannot hear the question. Mr Whiteley interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Braddon! The member for Fairfax will start his question again. The clock will be reset.
