    “This government is not dying of shame. My father did not die of shame!”
    This is one of the most powerful moments in this speech for me. For context, earlier in the speech, Julia refers to the conduct of the Sydney Young Liberals as well as some members of the opposition who were also in attendance at a party meeting. Someone at this meeting had joked in a speech that Julia’s father (who had recently passed away) died of shame, alluding to her performance as prime minister. Everyone in the audience laughed and cheered and it wasn’t until someone leaked it to the media that anyone in attendance pretended to be offended.

      Well he has a point, men do tend to have a better temprament to lead since the distribution of qualities is men is highly spread out, bu extention of which there are more men who are at the very peak, hence in more of a position to lead while also making up most of the bottom of the landscape(more than 90 percent people in prison men and more than 90 percent top ceo's also men)
      On average men and wemen may be equal but at the extremes it is almost all men.

      90 percent people in jails:- Men
      90 percent top ceos:- Men
      90 percent top richest:- Men
      Its clear to see all the people with extreme traits are men, as you want the leader to be the very best, it is almost always men, not saying its all men though, just most.
      As for proof, in the top 100 players there is one woman, one, and 10 percent players are wemen in total, while wemen are just as capable as men, people who tend to spen 16 hours a day working their entire life mostly tend to be men.

      just one point,
      highest hours productive working people are mostly men(above 12 hours)
      Now this does qualify most top leaders to be men, there is no doubt here better capability more leadership skills equals top positions.
      This is why most top leaders are men, dont deny facts bro.

      @Keynesian Economics unfortunately that point of view is not valid because many countries have industrialized (australia) and no longer require manual labor/human power/you actually going out and physically tilling soil with your own strength. while in that time frame, men's strength was literally greater than women's, this is no longer the case. qualifications in life for careers should not be based on how much weight you can physically carry, yet in many cases the assumption of women being worse or illsuited for a "man's" job still continue and worse women are attacked and blamed (as the PM lists off many many offenses) ...and that should be changed
