“I’m an absolute feminist – and women are running the Eurobodalla,” Mr Haslem said.
He believes there should be more women in Parliament – and that the Liberal Party should work to make it happen, after Ann Sudmalis announced her exit earlier this week.
“The Liberal Party needs to get off its bum and encourage more good women to get into politics,” he said.
“I don’t blame anyone for not wanting to get into politics – it’s a cesspool at the moment, on both sides. Women have a hard row, but some men are sensitive when it comes to politics – it depends on personality.”
Mr Haslem wants preselection nominations to be reopened in Gilmore: “When you’ve got a sitting member, it’s unusual for someone to challenge. It’s different circumstances now.”
Some “good women” might be interested.
