CIS hosted a panel of speakers to thrash out the issues surrounding women in politics. Are setting affirmative-action quotas the answer to boosting female representation? Or is a merit-based system of choosing candidates a better option? Are claims of a bullying culture inside the Liberal Party true? Is Labor playing the gender card and identity politics?

She was joined by, Karina Okotel is a senior civil lawyer at Victoria Legal Aid and a federal vice president of the Liberal Party, Eugenie Joseph is a former senior policy analyst at The Centre for Independent Studies, Kristina Keneally, a former NSW premier, is a Labor senator for NSW.
