Presumably the other women elected to parliament will make the tea and do the washing up.

Edit to Add:

No Minister for Science (there has been a Minister for Science in every government since 1929 - until now)

No Minister for Disability

Welcome to 1953.

Edit: It gets worse.

Afghanistan has three women holding ministry portfolios. We have one.

There are no ministries for Aging, Climate Change, Industrial Relations, or Youth, but Sport has been elevated to Cabinet.

The NBN website has been shut down already.

Good to see Abbott has his priorities right.
