Australian PM Julia Gillard's 'misogynist' blast at Tony Abbott echoes around world
PRIME Minister Julia Gillard's parliamentary broadside against Tony Abbott has made international headlines, with one news blog praising it as an 'epic speech' by a 'badass motherf***er'.
The 15 minute impassioned speech, in which Ms Gillard accused Mr Abbott of "peddling a double standard" and having a long history of sexism and misogyny, was uploaded to YouTube and viewed around the world.
The US-based, women-focused Jezebel.com blog, owned by Gawker media and boasting millions of readers, said the video was the "best thing you'll see all day: Australia's female prime minister rips misogynist a new one in epic speech on sexism".
"She basically ripped him a new [expletive]," the site said, excerpting several "choice quotes" from the "smackdown" and describing Ms Gillard as "one badass motherf***er".
In the UK, the conservative Telegraph described the speech as a "brilliant political pivot", saying she had turned "defending the indefensible" (the Peter Slipper scandal) into a speech that cleverly shifted the focus of the entire news story.

"Watching a female Prime Minister tear apart the male leader of the Opposition with such aplomb, composure - but most importantly armed with a brilliantly impressive set of insults - backed up with dates and times of when each shocking comment was said - was the best card Gillard, ever the political animal, could have played in such a situation," the reporter said.
And a writer for The Spectator said there was "much to admire" about the speech which had left Mr Abbott "carved to pieces".
Popular site Buzzfeed published a series of images and the video the speech, calling it "awesome".
In the US a blogger for the New Statesman compared Ms Gillard to the Incredible Hulk, beginning his report with "The Australian PM is angry. You wouldn't like her when she's angry."
A blogger at the influential Business Insider linked to the video, with the headline "An Australian politician shrinks in embarrassment, as the prime minister destroys him for being a misogynist". The article became a social media hit, spreading across Twitter and Facebook.
The speech also made headlines in South Africa, Canada and India.
Social media helped spread news of the speech, with "Gillard" hitting the top ten Twitter trends in Australia and also trending internationally.
In the UK actor Chris Addison, from hit political satire The Thick of It, retweeted a link to the video saying "This is the best smackdown I've ever seen. Glorious. Advance, Australia Fair!"
He then tweeted again: "That Julia Gillard speech is mesmerising. You can see the colour drain from him. Wonderful."
Gillard wins a verbal stoush, and maybe an election too

To use a modern phrase, Tony Abbott just got “owned”. He was utterly torn to shreds by the finest performance Julia Gillard has ever delivered on the floor of the House of Reps.

Mr Abbott was perfectly within his rights to put forward the motion that speaker Peter Slipper should be immediately dispatched. Most Australians feel likewise. But the words Mr Abbott chose to deliver this message were not only vicious but monumentally stupid beyond belief. Who are his advisers - the Sydney University young liberals?
Here is what Mr Abbott said: “I must allude to the vile anatomical references to which this Speaker appears to be addicted in his text message… Should (Gillard) rise in this place now to try and defend the Speaker, she will shame this parliament again… And every day the prime minister stands in this parliament to defend this Speaker will be another day of shame for this parliament, another day of shame for a government which should already have died of shame.’‘
Let’s replay that last line one more time for emphasis, as they often do on talkback radio.
Abbott wants Slipper sacked. So he said:
“And every day the prime minister stands in this parliament to defend this Speaker will be another day of shame for this parliament, another day of shame for a government which should already have died of shame”
Can you believe Tony Abbott used that phrase? Can you believe, after every drop of water that has flowed under the bridge since Jones’ ill-advised speech to the young libs, that the would-be Prime Minister of Australia still thinks it fitting to poke further fun at the death of the sitting Prime Minister’s father. Can anyone believe that?
Tony Abbott has hardly been deafening in his condemnation of his good mate Alan Jones in the aftermath of Shamegate, but did anyone but the most rabid leftie ever dream he’d be dumb enough to use the “died of shame” phrase in anger against the government?
First he distances himself from Jones. Then he pinches his vile phrase!
Anyway, the PM struck back with lethal force not seen since the Night of the Long Knives. Her manner was brutal, and was a strong reminder of why so many saw her as a natural PM-in-waiting.
Here are some of the more choice statements the Prime Minister made in response:
“The government is not dying of shame, my father did not die of shame, what the Opposition Leader should be ashamed of is his performance in parliament”
Ouch. Nowhere to hide from that one. And this:
“I will not be lectured about sexism and misogyny by this man, I will not. Not now, not ever.”
She also said (and excuse us for not getting some of this precisely word for word as we were caught off guard in a noisy newsroom):
“What i won’t stand for, what I will never stand for is the leader of the opposition peddling a double standard, a standard he has not set for members of his own front bench.”
and:
“The leader of the opposition can do something himself. He can apologise for standing next to signs saying Ditch the Witch.”
and in a delicious moment:
“Now he is looking at his watch (which Abbott was) because apparently a woman’s spoken too long.”
then, back to the original subject matter:
“This parliament today should reject this motion and the leader of the opposition should think seriously about the role of Australian women in public life and society because we deserve better than this.”
Long story short, what we saw today was the PM fired up as never before, with a brilliant (seemingly) off-the-cuff retort to the dumbest, most cynically-worded motion imaginable.
Tony Abbott got the shellacking he deserved, not only undoing all the image-shaping work done by his wife Margie last week, but quite likely also burning the poll surge that went with it.
With form like this, not to mention an economy which today jumped three ranking places to be the 12th biggest in the world, Gillard looks like the sort of politician who might just win the unwinnable election after all.

'Died of shame': focus on Abbott's use of controversial phrase
http://www.theage.com.au/opinion ... .html#ixzz28rsXo4Zq
"Died of shame".
It's arguably the most loaded phrase in Australia right now.
Those three words have been at the centre of an online campaign, a public apology and fervent debate from politicians and the public about raising the standard and tone of our country's discourse.
Yesterday, at the peak of arguments over a motion to remove Peter Slipper as speaker of the house, Opposition Leader Tony Abbott told parliament that every day Ms Gillard supported Mr Slipper was "another day of shame for a government which should already have died of shame".

Some observers immediately accused Mr Abbott of using the line as a stinging repetition of broadcaster Alan Jones's widely denounced comments about the prime minister's late father.
In the parliament, Ms Gillard was incensed.

"The government is not dying of shame. My father did not die of shame," she replied.
Last night Trade Minister Craig Emerson tweeted: "Jones said PM's Dad 'died of shame'. Despite public outcry Abbott chose to use the phrase today. Why make the connection back to Jones?"
Mr Abbott told 2UE yesterday afternoon that he had not intended any connection to Jones's comments.
"I'd completely forgotten about [it], of course, but nevertheless," he said.
"I have said time and time again that this is a government that has died of shame, that should have died of shame years ago.
"It was a clear reference to the government. I don't think anyone, anyone, should be trying to make something out of this.
"It just goes to show how, I suppose, the political correctness police are on a rampage for anyone to even think there was a problem."
Liberal frontbencher Christopher Pyne told ABC24 this morning he had heard Mr Abbott describe the government in that way "dozens of times" before.
A search of Hansard showed Mr Abbott had used the phrase in parliament at least three times in the last year.
On March 14 Mr Abbott asked the prime minister to explain how Australians could trust the government to control threats like weapons importation when their border protection policies had "failed".
He said a spate of drive-by shootings in Sydney was due to funding cuts to Customs.
"This is an utterly incompetent and utterly untrustworthy government," Mr Abbott said.
"It is a government which frankly should have died of shame and should be gone."
In his May budget reply speech, Mr Abbott said: "Before this government dies of shame, it should find a leader who isn’t fatally compromised by the need to defend the indefensible".
On November 2 last year Mr Abbott spoke in parliament after an asylum seeker boat sank off Indonesia on its way to Australia.
"This is an incompetent and untrustworthy government; it is a divided and directionless government; and, when it comes to border protection, this is a government which should simply have died of shame," he said.
He also used the phrase in doorstops and interviews in April, when asked about Mr Slipper, according to transcripts on his own website.
This morning senior government minister Jenny Macklin criticised Mr Abbott's most recent comments, which she said were used in exactly the same form as Alan Jones.
"You would expect that to be something that the prime minister would feel very offended by and she was," Ms Macklin told Melbourne's 3AW.
She said the prime minister had grown tired of copping abuse over the last two years.
"Yesterday I think partly because of the just appalling language by Alan Jones and then, in a different way repeated by Tony Abbott, the prime minister decided to speak out and speak up for herself."
For his part, Mr Jones seemed to agree that Mr Abbott's comments were poorly timed, telling Channel Seven's Sunrise this morning, it was an "unfortunate choice of words".
"I think we've got to move away from anything that might continue to reflect on those remarks, for which I have apologised," Mr Jones said.
