It is going to be an interesting year.

Defiant Tony Abbott finally reveals he will stay in politics and fight the next election

Date January 24, 2016 - 9:01PM

James Massola
Political correspondent

A defiant Tony Abbott has resisted calls for him to quit politics and will recontest his seat of Warringah at the next federal election.

The decision, announced on Sunday evening on his personal website, means the former prime minister will look to extend his 22 years in politics and potentially creates a political headache for Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.

Another token award to make everyone feel warm and fuzzy. Let's be honest he was chosen only because it's the buzz word at the moment. Looking at the other nominees it's clear they wanted another Rosie batty in there. Surprised the channel 7 reporter wasn't a nominee

Fighting for gender pay? Give me a break. If woman have the same level of experience as a man and can do the job then fine. If not FO

In the coming years I think woman will be given jobs just to Prove a gender point even though they aren't capable of doing that job. It's become a big circus now.

Gotta a newsflash it doesn't happen. It should but it doesn't.

All data available shows that women get paid less than men on similar roles and if you think that it isn't the case then you are living in a dream world.

Suggest you get a hold of some of the annual renummeration reports that get issued and you may learn soemthing.

Isn't that illegal WP? How would a male and female be paid differently for the same job under award wages? And if women were paid less, wouldn't businesses be loaded with them because they are cheaper to employ?

yes but does it show the facts on salaried workers. Experience being 1. Most woman take time off work and im sorry by doing so find themselves behind the 8 ball in that department. If they can show they are up to it fine, but if they cant then sit down and stop stuffin whinging

I have no issue with them being paid more, in fact i would support it but what we see now is the same old type of people trying to push their own agendas.

Anyway.......

Q: Why do women have smaller feet than men?

A: So they can stand closer to the kitchen sink.
