\nPrime Minister Tony Abbott has labeled the Carbon Tax abolition as his greatest achievement as Minister for Women in 2014.<\/p>\n

What a world we live in where we face major impacts on human civilisation from climate change and environmental degradation and Australia’s Prime Minister and self appointed Minister for Women Tony Abbott identifies the abolition of the carbon tax as his greatest achievement in 2014 for women in Australia.<\/p>\n

The comments were made in an interview on the Today show<\/em> when speaking about the recent cabinet reshuffle. The cabinet reshuffle doubled the representation of women in cabinet to two.<\/p>\n

Host of the program Lisa Wilkinson asked Tony Abbott to nominate his top achievement in his capacity as Minister for Women. To which Prime Minister Abbott replied:<\/p>\n

\n“Well, you know, it is very important to do the right thing by families and households. As many of us know, women are particularly focused on the household budget and the repeal of the carbon tax means a $550 a year benefit for the average family.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
