Looks like an ALP/Union movement done by the Lib factions to put one of their own into place..So a left faction player wants a place to make sure Sco Mo keeps on track..

Abbott has accepted his out of mind, out of sight. Humiliation duties while they complete the policies Turnbull started.. because no one seen the actual policies they haven't changed only the face on the screen has..

A few truck loads of organic fertilizer in that statement, if that is what she thinks she's not needed.

Great, close the door on your way out commie. Goodbye and good riddance.

If the rest of the (l)iberal female brigade would follow suit the tug of The Cathedral on the party would be greatly reduced. Let's hope they can come up with a conservative as a replacement.

Turnbull and Bishop supporter.

Thanks I just read that on the computer but she is being pressured to stand down none the less by her own team so those on the left doen't matter which party any longer, so not a part of the inner circle and like the ALP they need pollies to resign in order to put the inner circle contenders in place..
Someone must be owed big time in the winning faction..

Can someone please explain why women think they have more rights than men. It is getting sickening the way some of them carry on. I am a woman and have never thought of myself better than a man. This is sour grapes to my way of thinking, I just get so angry with the way a LOT of women are carrying on. There will be an uprising one of these days by men and so they should. We are ALL equal.
Probably sour grapes on her part, whats the bet Turnbull didn't tell her she was in line for a position on the front bench.

The old souls of the earth have won that battle so will resist being pulled back to the dark ages...by these souls in envy and ego..

Ha ha Ha ! Another Lefty Bites the Dust ! 👻👻👻👻👻👻👻 Boo Hoo ! 🤧🤧🤧

In the old days she would have been called a wimp, but I guess you can't say that anymore, especially to a woman.

It takes a degree of mental toughness to stick it out in politics. Obviously Julia Banks might be lacking in that department, especially now that it is the time she should be starting to campaign for her own re-election in a marginal seat. Maybe she saw it as a hopeless task and not worth her efforts so has taken the easy option of not standing at the next election based on a flimsy excuse. Why doesn't she just admit that she doesn't want to be there anymore. Winters in Canberra are hell.

Don't you just love the innocence act... you have a group of narcissist (socialists that play dirty and full of ego) and the new PM comes on and acts like he knows nothing of what goes on while they were trying to gather numbers to vote him in.. or Julie Bishop..

Sure sounds like another authoritarian figure to me..

Scott Morrison has “laid down the law” to his new ministry after Victorian Liberal MP Julia Banks announced she would not contest the next election following last week’s leadership turmoil and allegations of bullying and intimidation.

Ms Banks, a supporter of Malcolm Turnbull and Julie Bishop in the recent leadership spills, was the only Liberal candidate to clinch a seat off Labor at the 2016 election and holds her electorate of Chisholm on a margin of 3.4 per cent.

The Prime Minister said he would look “closely” at issues raised by Ms Banks, including claims of bullying and intimidation, and had been talking “very directly” with his colleagues.

“I have laid down the law to my cabinet. I have laid down the law to my ministry and to the parliamentary secretary ranks of my government. They know what I expect and I have every confidence they will live up to what I expect,” Mr Morrison said.

Real women as well as strong , they will fight and protect men and their children as well on the spiritual and emotional front if they are not being a victim of course.. If you want to create yourself as a victim it just means you are playing in fear energy and having self doubts about your own capabilities to achieve anything on your own..
If you look at her words she is playing the UN ideology to a T.. so not only are they advocates for this ideology they actually create this reality for themselves by getting into the political system not on merit but because of appointments of quota's or diversity or other crap where perception is everything to fit in with the crowd..
You can sure tell the UN advocates by the brainwashed ideology they believe in and espouse as their own reasoning for not being treated fairly..

Bishop is sticking around to leak to Malcolm.

The smug expression on her face when she fronted up to the media to announce that she will continue as a backbencher means that she will be Malcolm Turnbull complete with lipstick & high heels & creating havoc within the Liberals in Canberra!

She may do a Julia Gillard/Kevin Rudd - flying around the world, at taxpayers expense, on some dodgy UN global tentacle. Gillard is the 'global education' guru while Rudd is the expert on China!

Julia Banks is of Greek origin. Victoria has the 2nd highest number of Greeks after Greece.

Banks is bailing out because she knows she will lose the next election. She may join Liberal powerbroker Kroger in victoria. NSW Liberal Party has faceless powerbroker Photios, who may have something to do with Julia Banks' complaint about bullying.
