More women is the key to cutting corruption, Australia
IN THIS heady age of grimy corruption revelations, thanks to the ICAC merry-go-round, it's good to know there's a simple answer to end corruption in politics.
That is, to get more women elected Australia-wide, according to Lennox Head-based NSW Upper House MP Catherine Cusack.
Ms Cusack has just been elected to chair the Commonwealth Women's Parliamentary Steering Committee, and her appointment comes during a crisis point for women.
The number of female MPs is dropping; nationally the number has fallen from 254 in 2010 to 239 in 2014.
