The troll who made the most sexist comments will become Minister for Women.
Following the mass resignations of some of their best personnel in recent weeks (Steve Ciobo I’m looking at you), the government has been on the hunt for new ministers of the calibre of the old ones.
It was for this reason as soon as Scott Morrison heard about the sexist trolls who abused AFLW star Tayla Harris for doing her job well, he got on the blower to find out their availability for an upcoming vacancy in Kelly O’Dwyer’s position as Minister for Women.

At this morning’s press conference the PM said “Look it was fun giving the girls a spin in the portfolio. Michaelia and Kelly gave it a good crack, but they don’t really have Tony’s experience with women now do they? It’s high time we get the steady, gropey hands of a man back on the steering wheel.”
Morrison was then challenged that perhaps Michaelia Cash and Kelly O’Dwyer suited the role better because not only were they actual women, they also had a slightly less egregious record of saying and doing horrendously sexist things.
To which the PM responded “Yes but do they have a wife?”
