Episode description

Ten years ago the then-prime minister Julia Gillard delivered a speech to parliament about misogyny.

At the time, the speech was poorly received by the Canberra press gallery and described by some journalists as "desperate".

But online, it took on a life of its own.

Now, what has become known as the misogyny speech can be found on merchandise, in TikTok videos, and is used as shorthand for a particular sense of frustration at sexism in Australian politics.

Today, Independent MP for the seat of Goldstein Zoe Daniel on the forgotten history of the speech and why it still resonates with so many people today.
