Julia Gillard misogyny speech voted most unforgettable Australian TV moment: watch in full

Julia Gillard's misogyny speech voted 'most unforgettable' moment in Australian TV history ► www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2020/feb/07/julia… 'It took on a life of its own': the story behind Julia Gillard's misogyny speech ► www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2020/feb/07/it-to…

Gillard: *Directly quotes the leader of opposition* Members of his party *get mad*

She slaughtered him. And when she finished she did it again, and again, and again, and again.

The thing I love the most is she NEVER, not once, let her flow get interrupted by heckling. Calm, measured, firm, yet schooled rage.

He smirks at the start but the smirk quickly fades.

This woman made me feel like a strong intelligent Australian woman and i'm an African man

She dug that man a grave and said “don’t be shy, step in.”

He then, disgustingly, became Prime Minister. But ultimately he got smacked down by the voters of his own long-standing conservative electorate who voted for a talented, intelligent, community-minded woman (who happens to also be a former Olympic athlete and medallist). Progress is never a straight path, but it is one worth following all the way.

He was laughing at the start. How much his face falls during the course of Julia reiterating his record of misogyny is pure gold.

Him at beginning: 😏 Middle: 🙂 Near the end: 😕 The end: 😟

She came with receipts. Honestly, I'm surprised he didn't start crying. She destroyed him.

“This government is not dying of shame. My father did not die of shame!” This is one of the most powerful moments in this speech for me. For context, earlier in the speech, Julia refers to the conduct of the Sydney Young Liberals as well as some members of the opposition who were also in attendance at a party meeting. Someone at this meeting had joked in a speech that Julia’s father (who had recently passed away) died of shame, alluding to her performance as prime minister. Everyone in the audience laughed and cheered and it wasn’t until someone leaked it to the media that anyone in attendance pretended to be offended.

Not a filler word, not a single uh or um... because all that she said, came from the truth in her soul.

I've never felt so proud to be an Australian woman even though my passport says I'm a German man

The Leader of the Opposition also said when Prime Minister Julia Gillard,s father died - that her father died of shame in her. He is a disgusting man in so many ways. Julia was Australia's first female Prime Minister and him and others got way down in the gutter to attack her personally. Totally disgusting and a well deserved roasting from her here.

I wish I could have stood up in such fashion to my bullies earlier in my life. The anger is real but it is controlled and she never once loses composure - this is her narrative and she owns it. Watching her ripping her smug tormentor to shreds when he finally went too far brings tears to my eyes.

Seeing his smirk get wiped off was so satisfying.

This is what it looks like when you literally end a man’s whole career.

The unfortunate thing is that this 'Leader of the Opposition' went on to become Prime Minister after her term. Shame.

That woman is a stone cold legend. The best Prime Minister we ever had.
