If a male politician made a similar statement dressed in a suit and tie, would you make the same comment?

Possibly. If it were Tony Abbott, absolutely. We shall see when one does, I guess.

My statement was largely facetious (as indicated by the !1!!1!), but I do think one has to be careful when wading into these issues in a public forum, as they have a way of backfiring.
