Susan Mitchell began her interview with Janine Haines by asking about the future feminisation of politics—or rather, the possibility of it.
Janine did not believe that as soon as there was a certain number of women in parliament everything would be fine, but she thought that at least with more numbers in caucuses and party rooms women would be in a better position to influence the agenda.
As Janine Haines said, it won't necessarily make the parliament behave better but it might bring an end to some of the political stag fights.

 Democrats - now known as the 'Others' - On Line Opinion - 16/2/2005
Even the most successful leader of all, Janine Haines, had to fight no less than four member-leadership ballots in a row before her first election, her challengers being from the Democrat Left.
The period when Janine Haines led the Democrats saw the highest public percentage support, both in polls and in the 1990 election.
Had she been committed to the campaign when she was at her peak, it is possible some of those seats would have fallen to the Democrats and created a “fortress” to build out from, including the likelihood of taking the Federal seat of Mayo in 1998.

 PWHCE: Discord in the Australian Democrats
During her tenure as Australian Democrats leader Haines (1986 to 1990) gave a lot of leeway to individual Australian Democrat Senators to the point that she seemed to be a figurehead.
Nonetheless, Haines' decision to contest the federal lower house of Kingston in Adelaide at the 1990 federal election and her undertaking to retire from politics if she failed to win the seat, might very well have helped the Australian Democrats to achieve their highest federal vote to date.
Whatever one's ideological disposition, Haines' decision to retire after she failed to win Kingston should be recognized as an act of personal integrity.
