Female Liberal MPs see rising support from women voters

Female Liberal MPs report an increase in support from women voters, believing Peter Dutton is more appealing than Scott Morrison. Internal polling shows the female primary vote for the Coalition rose from 34% in December 2022 to 42% in 2025. The Liberal Party acknowledges past issues, including scandals related to women's treatment, but some MPs feel these concerns are less prominent now. They note that cost of living is the main issue for voters this election. Despite the positive polling, skepticism remains about the party's commitment to women, with calls for more female candidates in winnable seats. A review suggested a target of 50% female representation by 2032, but without quotas.
