I loved that speech. I still love that speech. It was a seminal empowering moment for Australian women. I am so proud and thankful for PM Julia Gillard sharing it with the world.

[@marnuscoreyempanadaslooseb6760]

"Ditch the witch..." Those were certainly interesting times in Australian political history.

[@junkdeluxe1357]

I’m not even Australian but as a European woman it gave me hope of a better world, and great comments from men did the same. 🙏🏻

[@sebby161]

Fucking icon of Australia

[@BenedictBernabe]

"...sometimes, it's the only thing they know about Australia... you know, kangaroos, koalas, that speech..." hahaha her humor is so spot on

[@maszlagma]

While I don't agree with everything she stood for as a PM, this speech is so powerful! Well done!

[@aquarious2468]

Due to Julia Gillard my daughter now works in politics in labour 😅inspirational woman iconic speech . Miss Julia Gillard

[@brantleyfoster021]

Such an inspiration, looking back on it now is refreshing. The Skynews commentators still can't move past how much damage this speech does to them. It get's so much publicity & forever put Abbott in the dirt.

[@curiositynz]

I think history has shown who the best Ozzie pm was between these two….

[@kevdimo6459]

I still love you Julia, i just wish the men of the world had given you a better go at the top job!

[@dadcelo]

I'm so inspired by this woman, what a force

[@joeyphaahla]

Best Aussie PM

[@driveucrazy5690]

I'm with her too! All the way from Chandler, AZ

[@thefunpolice]

Love her to bits. She's magnificent.

I remember this was the first time I ever heard that word, I was 18 and I can tell you just hearing and then learning the understanding, made me a better person… she’s goated in my eyes… ❤️👏

🧡💞🧡

[@margaretirvine3267]

You should have had longer as PM.☹️

[@WhoAreYou-.-.]

Best moment. Where were you today Gillard? Same place you were when you decided against gay marriage which inevitably ended in a huge waste of money that wasn't necessary.

[@wattlebough]

While her fawning fans might have loved this moment, for many other Australians this was the moment she alienated about 50% of the voting population that weren’t interested in her feministic martyrdom. Many of those same that she lost with this speech might have admired Maggie Thatcher on the other hand.

[@aquarious2468]

You missed the point 👉 who cares about the voters her speech resonated around the world 🌎 recognised women's rights and showed us just how the boys club operates at the highest level . Loo what's happened since then with LNP government Christian porter case Brittany Higgins? LNP still don't respect women 😒

[@johnpine9945]

First comment

[@anthonieversluis5895]

What a dumb dumb silly speech. Not exactly endorsement of Australia either

[@aquarious2468]

And you probably don't know what misogyny means 😅

[@maszlagma]

It obviously flew over your head, honey, no matter, not everyone has the empathy or intelligence to understand it ❤

[@louiseetherson1455]

Best speech -ever, well done Julia, x
