Australia's first Minister for Men is a woman. Thank god someone is finally looking after them.

Obviously the prime minister is doing a bang-up job as the Minister for Women (cough, cough), but hasn’t he been forgetting something?

There is a glaring lack of equality in Tony Abbott’s front bench. It’s something we’ve ignored for a while, but we can’t stay silent any longer… one gender is grossly under represented in cabinet and we just can’t keep looking the other way.

We all know the PM has been absolutely killing it as the minister for women, but just who is that’s looking after the interests of Australia’s men?

OPINION: “Minister, if that’s your best effort, then you need to resign.” 

That’s right. I don’t want to alarm you, but we’re nearly half-way through the Coalition’s first term of government and this country still has NO MINISTER FOR MEN.

Most likely it was just an oversight by Tony Abbott and will soon be fixed, like that silly science portfolio (whoops!), but in the interim someone else has stepped up to fill the position. #sweetrelief

Australia, meet you new self-appointed Minister for Men…

Gretel Killeen.

She’s got your back, men.
