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…

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

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

A calm, collected, and professional address by a woman is the worst fear for misogynistic politicians

He smirks at the start but the smirk quickly fades.

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

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

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

“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.

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.

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

I’m here because YouTube somehow recommended this to me…and I spent all 15 minutes seeing this: a woman controlling the attention of every person in a chamber while expressing her points in a clear, firm, and concise manner. These were 15 minutes well spent and surely fits the description of an unforgettable speech.

Calling out misogyny, validating millions of women who experience sexism, speaking for so many, and inspiring us to be strong too, thank you Julia

She never says his name. He’s just the “leader of the opposition”. And just pounds him with his own words and his abandonment of a man who was his friend when it was convenient.

If Gillard was the speaker of the US House, Trump would be calling her a “very nasty woman”

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.

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

Can't believe I just witnessed a murder.

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.
