Abbott suggests Gillard’s misogyny speech was just ‘her time of the month’

Former Minister for Women and Prime Mansplainer, Tony Abbott has revisited ex-PM Julia Gillard’s iconic ‘misogyny speech’, suggesting that she was just “being hormonal”.

Abbott, who was the focus of the famous speech, admitted on the ABC this week that it has gone down in folklore, even though she did “drone on a bit, as they tend to do.”

“She was acting hysterical and I hope all the housewives of Australia watching would have seen that, while they were doing their husbands’ ironing of course,” said Abbott.

“I know her speech has gone down as a landmark moment in Australian history, but I think my remarks in response of ‘calm down, love’ were equally powerful.”
