It does no credit to your publication to print partisan, ageist, misogynistic attacks on women who have been democratically elected by their communities to represent them (Bill Stefaniak, CW 26 May 2022, p6). The new MPs include a respected ex-journalist, a doctor, a CEO of the McGrath Foundation, a professor of paediatric health who ran a children’s hospital and a director of Anglicare.
Furthermore, the ALP were elected, among other things, on a platform of meaningful action on climate change, as well as restoring integrity following a government riddled with fiscal incompetence, cronyism and corruption. They are far more likely to find positive collaboration with the crossbench than the destroyed rump of a party rejected by its traditional base.
