CANBERRA : A veteran , key strategist in the Coalition Government has resigned in frustration and intends to seek asylum in a New Zealand nunnery . She is Dorothy Dix who is forced to write brain-numbing questions for government members, mainly men , to ask during Question Time in the House of Representatives.
Ms Dix , kept out of sight in a stuffy cupboard in the office of the manager of government business, Christopher Pyne , was infuriated by the PM walking out of the chamber , above, before Dr Kerryn Phelp rose to make her maiden speech . As a result , Dix , a true feminist , blew her stack , came out of the cupboard , set fire to 101 questions and her bra, danced all over a papier- mache model of an expensive French submarine off Pyne's desk and handed in her resignation ... Another Argus Tuft scoop .

The day male chauvinist pigs flew for cover in both chambers.
