When the Federal Parliament finally sits for the first time after the election this week, the entire depth of the Liberal Party’s humiliation is in a visual presentation in the representative room.
Only six liberal women are in the lower room.
Six.
And because women usually use more color than their male colleagues, it is difficult to forget the scanty. There is no confusion about the problem.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, on the other hand, is likely to be sure when Parliament returns with Newspoll, who produces strong results to the Party of the Workers’ Party and the second honeymoon to the party.
Liberals hope that the optics that their first female leader sits opposite the prime minister in the shipment box, neutralizing how a shocking number this is in 2025 – but one leader, reluctantly supporting and still silently weakening their colleagues, does not disappear so deeply.
In the face of a refund, Sussan Ley has given a TV show for 60 minutes of his life to present himself to the nation.
It tells a lot about the country’s commitment to politics that a woman who has been in Parliament since 2001 and has served in many Frontbench roles already has to present the Howard’s government era.
Previous Liberal Director Peter Dutton also performed in 60 minutes, but his mission was less about the introduction-his name was more well-known around the country and more of his image to soften, which is fair to say that he failed to achieve much.
Ley does not need to soften the image. He must create his own image and identity.
Ley showed his 60 -minute audience skills, including flying airplanes and beautiful grandchildren. It is a way to use a good personal story to increase women’s influence that the liberal party has changed under her leadership.
But it takes more than some soft media pieces that move a deep understanding of the party.
All this week’s eyes are on the first survey time. Politics is as much a game of mind as leaders’ ideas and strategy game. Ley and Albanese are trying to handle each other over the shipment box.
They have one undeniable feature. Both are underestimated throughout their careers, and both speak of this as one of the elements of their success.
The Prime Minister has constantly exceeded when his critics have suggested that he is unable to. Ley is a lot the same. He uses that doubt to take over himself.
No more ‘noalition’?
One of the most stinging and harmful critics of the liberals led by Peter Dutton was the willingness to say no work ideas.
In fact, the liberals became so addictive by saying, not that they even said not to policies that fit directly to their historical world description, including personal income tax deductions before the last elections.
This week is the party’s first parliamentary opportunity to show that they are done by the hyper study behavior.
Two key positions are presenting the legislation this week – by reducing HECS debts and stricter childcare as a result of scandals in abuse – liberals have now stated that they are.
They have even gone out of politics that 80,000 international students of universities are an opposition education report yesterday a promising “more sensitive” approach.
Dutton had claimed that cutting the number of foreign students would release more housing and rental opportunities. He said that the students “began accommodation that Australian citizens should occupy.”
Jonathon Duniam, an opposition spokesman for the opposition, admitted that Dutton’s leadership was not “as constructive as otherwise could have been”.
“It is clear that these figures were part of the discussion that took place before the elections we lost”, ” A new education spokesman told the insider.
“I do not believe that any university should, as some, use international students as a cash cow. It is not appropriate because it is not a good business model, but we have to recognize that much of funding, especially regional universities, comes from international students.
Duniam said, and added that the Liberal Party “works with the industry and the government with a more sensitive discussion,” it added to it “.
Before, in the last elections, Labor also promised to counteract him by saying that it would reduce the number of international students to up to 270,000 in 2025.
The Minister of Shadow Education also said that the coalition had softened its position on other educational policies, including the previous opposition to the Alban government’s plan to wipe a 20 % discount on students’ HCS debts.
Welcome to Parliament
Recently selected workers and senators are also beginning to make their first speech to the House of Representatives and the Senate this week.
The first speeches of the house are led by Dickson member Ali France and Melbourne member Sarah Witty.
There is no mistake that they are chosen to lead many, many speeches that are delivered.
These two new members of the Parliament won Dutton, a right -hand political leader and Adam Bandt, a green leader.
Their speeches point out that their communities voted for labor because they wanted a government that wanted to do things.
And Labor strives to emphasize that its new Caucasus consists of 56 % of women. They sing it from the roof all week, but the truth is that they don’t have to.
It is on the entire screen in the chamber when members of Parliament take their position on the green leather seat.

Tasmania’s endless elections
It ABC has been projected The fact that liberals win the most places in the Tasmanian State Parliament, the Labor Party sees the worst vote ever in Tasmania.
This is the fourth election that the state has held in seven years when opposition leader Dean Winter performed his budget response.
I am a big fan of democracy, but I can see why Tasmanians can get tired of the endless elections that they are forced to participate.
It’s kind of stunning, and tells you everything you need to know about politics instability that nearly 40 % of Tasmanians voted to be liberal in the state elections over the weekend.
In the May Federal Elections, the Liberal Voting of the Tasmania was just under 25 percent. It is a monumental difference. Liberals see it as a sign that their brand is not completely damaged, and maybe it is part of the story. But it’s not all.
It is worth looking at how wild fluctuations were liberals and how it has changed the property of Bridget Archer, which lost their federal position during the destruction of the Tasmanian party in the federal elections.
Archer denied the bass spot in this weekend’s Tasmania State elections and has now only managed to win, but received 1.53 quotas on Saturday night.
Sagittarius may be on the board of Minister Tasmania. This was something that was not possible for him in federal liberals.
A predicted loss of labor would be one of the biggest tactical misconceptions in Australia’s political history. There is still an external possibility that Tasmania’s workman Dean Winter can form a government with a large and mostly advanced cross -bench.
It is clear that winter believed that Prime Minister Jeremy Rockcliff would dismiss the distrust instead of calling other elections.
The employee was again left unprepared at the state level for fighting.
But swing to the liberals shows that maybe the mood against the well -established people seems to be in the decline behind the elections of the WA and now the elections of Tasmania. All three have given two major parties hope that they have arrested the invoice.
