[BITList] Australian Senate.

[John Feltham]

G'day Folks,


I wonder what how many women there are in the Cabinet and are Senators who belong to the LNP?

Answer: Only two.

Kristina Keneally was elected to the Senate recently and took her place in the Senate during this week. This is an extract from her ‘Maiden Speech'.

There was a lighter moment when Kristina noted the Labor Senate team is 61 percent female and for NSW it is, in Kristina’s words, 75 percent female and 50 percent very strange accents. 

Doug Cameron heard the reference and immediately called out “Speak for yourself” only to have Kristina look at him mischievously and say, “I’m sorry, I didn’t understand that.”

Doug Cameron is from Scotland.
