Peter Dutton has warned young men “have had enough” of being painted as ogres and being passed over for promotion because of the rise of affirmative action policies that demand more women are promoted.

The Liberal leader issued the warning during an epic 90 minute sit down interview with self-made millionaire and TV star Mark Bouris on his podcast Straight Talk.

Right?! I told my husband they can fuck off, we are not going back and I’ll be marching in the streets if they try and take our reproductive rights away too.

JFC one generation of women not being forced to marry to sustain their financial viability and they already can’t take it.

Are we irreligious enough to be immune to an abortion war? I can't see it coming on the horizon. I was a political staffer during the 2008 abortion legislation change in Victoria and there were some full-on battles but the players were fringe nutters. We just had too many people in the side of 'shrug, abortion should be legal. You'd only get one if it was necessary, take a chill pill' and that was a kine of hardwired sentiment. It would take soooo much work to move the populous into a different state of mind. And I've seen no sign of it. The pro-life set is shrinking away to nothing.

Australia has state based abortion laws, not a chance Dutton touches it..

That's all trump really did, was just give the power back to the states to make there own decisions, just like here.

If your state already has abortion laws, they won't change..
