 Achievements? 

Zero.

Ways she made the lives of Australians better? 

Zero.

Human Services Minister under Abbott, say no more. 

A complete waste of our money, a senate position that could have been occupied by a decent person.

 @684e23f9 Honestly to achieve nothing in all that time in politics is such a disservice to Australia. 
Remember "The Liberal Party has a problem with women". Was this really solved by overpriviledged right wing women like Payne, Cash, Ruston, Hume, Reynolds, etc acting the same as their overpriviledged male counterparts?

I will call notice to two women in the Libs that I believe show at least a willingness to lead and make a stand, IMO, Bridget Archer and Julie Bishop. Bishop is retired.
