The point of #GenderBalancingClothingCommentary is to apply to men on TV the same kind of inane commentary on clothing and grooming that women on TV routinely experience, thereby highlighting the massive double standard.

Nah, going sans-tie on a weekend panel show is accepted (indeed, almost de rigueur).

Sorry, folks, but The Migraine Fairy has decided to drop in.

Lacking impressive pecs, Littletobeproudof resorts to showing off his hirsute forearms as a display of virility and strength.
His lack of a jacket seems like something a boarder at a posh boarding school would do as an act of rebellion.
Muppets all.

I thought I glimpsed The Dreaded Triangle, but it may just have been a reflection off Speers's belt buckle.
I suspect he (a) didn't go to his usual haircare provider or (b) said "Let's take it a tad shorter at the back and sides this time, mate".

Too much cuff from David Speers.
And massively overcoiffed hair.
Must be a day ending in -y. 🙄
Could probably have done with an undershirt, too, but that's not a standing offence against fashion, unlike the other two.

Not a #GenderBalancingClothingCommentary post, but I howled with laughter at Dave Sharma's reaction to Dee Madigan's comments about whether Labor or the Noalition are better economic managers.
You'd be forgiven for thinking Dave just got a whiff of a fresh steaming dog turd.

Victorian Liberal MP and man in all sorts of financial strife John Pesutto always looks unflappable.
His suit/shirt/tie combo is unadventurous, perhaps understandably after his legal woes.
Do you think his hair colour has had some chemical assistance?

Dave Sharma has the look of someone whose career was rudely interrupted by an upstart independent MP before a less-than-glorious return via the Senate.
Senator Ayres could learn something from Senator Sharma's sartorial choices.
Some bling next time?

The outgoing Science Minister, Ed Husic, last week and the incoming Science Minister, Tim Ayres, this week.
Love the specs and beard, Senator, but the suit/shirt/tie combo looks like something a 16-year-old would wear to their first job interview.

Do I have the brainpower to do some #GenderBalancingClothingCommentary on tonight's #QandA?
I guess we're about to find out ...

One of the reasons why #GenderBalancingClothingCommentary remains relevant. 👇
I, too, expect an entirely disproportionate amount of coverage of Ley will focus on her clothing and appearance.

Looks like they were attending as part of a school-organised group, so seems reasonable to me they'd be wearing school uniform (where there is one).
As school blazers go, I'd call those 'mildly anachronistic' rather than 'ridiculous'. 🤷♂️

Loving the questioner's hair, beard and bling.
I'm not sure what to make of the top. What say you, fashionistas?

Questioner Tom lets himself and his school down by not wearing his best uniform shirt: that one has seen better days, as the collar clearly shows.
I do like the hair and ruddy cheeks, though.

A superb backdrop for @sszinglehead.bsky.social's question.
The nose and cheeks are strikingly similar to those behind him.
Loving the facial hair, Glenn.

I find myself wishing David Shoebridge had left another button undone on his shirt.
He's usually neat and tidy but has taken it to new heights tonight.

The questioner's hair and jumper are simple but classy. The bling adds interest.

A tie bar might've kept Michael Stutchbury's tie centred.
The suit/shirt/tie combo is passable.
He always reminds me of a Dickensian character.

Once you've seen the discrepancy in sideburn lengths, you can see and hear nothing else.
An amazing grooming fail from Pete Hegseth.

A clever riposte from @chrisbowenmp.bsky.social to 🥔's #BudgetReplySpeech.
Clearly Chris has seen his haircare provider in the last week (looking sharp!) but his suit jacket needs tailoring and should be unbuttoned when seated.

Okay, I think I've seen enough.
No more #GenderBalancingClothingCommentary on #QandA tonight unless somebody truly striking (for good or ill) appears.

Sean Kelly on the #QandA set. He wears an open-necked white shirt and a smug grin. His trademark mop of hair has a stray lock looming over his left eye and he also sports designer stubble.
In contrast, Sean Kelly's outfit is a tad too informal for #QandA. (Also a bit blah. Makes him look like a blank canvas.)
Clearly someone in his life finds his mop of hair endearing. I don't.

Adam Creighton on #QandA set. He wears a dark (either black or dark grey) suit, a light mauve shirt and a purple tie.
It's been a while since I've seen Adam Creighton. He's either found luuuurve or given up on it entirely. #CouldGoEitherWay
The suit/shirt/tie combo brings is a tad too formal for #QandA, but not massively so.
Decent hair. Good eyebrows.

"Thoughts and prayers" and "reached out" in the first two sentences from Andrew Hastie = 🤮.
The button-down shirt collar and carefully coiffed hair betray his military background.

I name checked him earlier, but didn't get a screenshot of Cason Ho.
Here he is reporting from the count in Churchlands.
Both the hairstyle and shirt have a no-nonsense practicality.
