In the 2022 federal election, many women, especially former Liberal voters, felt alienated by the party's disregard for women's issues and leadership. Incidents involving the Prime Minister and the deputy, Barnaby Joyce, heightened their concerns. The election saw a significant shift, with 14 women gaining seats, emphasizing a demand for better female representation. Despite this, the Liberal party under Peter Dutton has not addressed its issues with female voters, risking continued alienation. The ongoing political landscape reflects a critical choice for the party: reconnect with women or further isolate them.
Since the 2022 federal election, the Liberal party has failed to reconnect with female voters, risking further alienation while elevating the hard-right faction.
Women abandoned the Liberals in the last election due to a perceived disconnection and lack of respect, reflecting a critical turning point for the party.
