Hark! The sound of gnashing!

The staggering hypocrisy of labor continues to grind on seemingly unimpeded by its worst electoral thrashing in 100 years.
Can no single person in this most incompetent of political parties ever tell the truth.
Is truth so trashed in our modern society that no one even bats an eye when this political 'leader' stands up to tell an outright lie?

Kenny again: The gender imbalance brought a stinging rebuke from acting opposition leader Chris Bowen, who noted that war-torn Afghanistan had more women in its cabinet.

Context overlooked:
Afghanistan’s cabinet in fact includes all government ministers - which we would call “the ministry” - and numbers 25, including the president. Three are women. Abbott’s ministry numbers 30, of whom five are women. Comparing like with like, the claim that Afghanistan’s cabinet (actually ministry) has more women than Abbott’s ministry is false both in number and proportion. Anyone repeating it is either ignorant or deceptive.

But here is the bottom line: What we should demand most from Cabinet ministers is not that they wear skirts, look diverse or have a range of exotic backgrounds and sexual preferences. Performance should be what counts as we roll back this Age of Seeming and restore an Age of Doing.
Overall, I’d rate Abbott’s Cabinet, person for person, as potentially better than any we’ve had over the past six years. If this team delivers, it will already be more admirable than any that boasted even a Wong. I don’t care how a Minister seems; I care what he or she does.
 

About time that we had a responsible, truthful, adult government in this country, regardless of the gnashing of rotten teeth from the blowhards and debauchees of the chatteratti.

UPDATE
An amusing take on the obsession the chatteratti seem to have with gender equality:
