Drinking at work the new frontier
If a female "knockabout Aussie" ("Abbott's binge", August 27) politician had not been able to get to work because she was too drunk to move, would she still be seen as an acceptable member of Parliament? Or would she have been thrown out before she caused the old boys' party further shame and embarrassment, and perhaps even the need for reform? The next "vote" needed is one to ensure there is workplace equality.
