FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The Liberal National Party’s (LNP) former state secretary says women need to change their attitudes if they want to be taken seriously in politics.
Michael O’Dwyer made the comments during a Queensland University of Technology seminar about campaign strategies used during the state election campaign, which gave his party a landslide win.
But most questions asked by the audience centred around why there was a lack of gender and multicultural diversity in Queensland politics.
Mr O’Dwyer said the LNP had mainly male candidates because they were chosen on merit rather than a gender quota system.
He said women were often their own worst enemy when it came to politics because they were more concerned about what shoes leaders wore than what their policies and issues were.
“So something, I’m sorry ladies, needs to be done from your perspective to try to build women up to look and sound like leaders and talk about the attributes of a female being a leader rather than talking about their appearance,” he told the crowd about 100 people.
Meanwhile, Labor’s assistant state secretary and former Waterford MP Evan Moorhead conceded his party’s campaign strategy to personally attack Premier Campbell Newman and his family was too harsh.
Mr Newman was accused of dodgy financial dealings with developers during his time as Brisbane’s lord mayor but the Crime and Misconduct Commission cleared him of any wrongdoing.
“The allegations against Newman were overstated… and boldly stretched the bounds,” he said.
Mr O’Dwyer said the LNP was able to claim a resounding 78 seats in the state’s 89-seat parliament because it had a strong leader in Campbell Newman and was able to ensure Labor’s candidates couldn’t distance themselves from the party’s tarnished brand.
Katter’s Australian Party representative and former Beaudesert MP Aidan McLindon said his party’s strategy was to lump LNP and Labor together and be a viable third option, which is ultimately why Labor lost so many seats.
Queensland Greens state campaign director Michael Kane blamed the party’s poor result on a lack of media coverage.
He also said the party may have focused too hard on trying to have Mount Coot-Tha candidate Adam Stone elected and had to work out how to use polling better.
