Former Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard made an extraordinary attack last night on the “violent, ugly sexism” she said she experienced during her three years in charge of the nation.

It reached the point when the British-born politician felt “murderous rage” at seeing the sexist cartoons and comments that had been made online about her, she said. …

Speaking at a public forum at the iconic Sydney Opera House, Miss Gillard—who has now resigned from politics—said she was surprised at the depth of abuse that had been levelled at her as the country's first female Prime Minister.

“I find it depressing and a surprise that really violent, ugly sexism still exists in Australia,” she told the enthusiastically supportive audience. …

Full Daily Mail title:
Former Australian PM Julia Gillard lashes out at the “violent, ugly sexism’ she encountered as country’s first female leader
Australia tired of the violent, ugly leftism that she brought to the office. She and Kevin Rudd. And I suspect that Maggie Thatcher was worse off than she in terms of having to face the leftist sexism. (Murderous rage, really?)

Per Harry Truman - “if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!” Or in the case of this whiner, perhaps her true place WAS in the kitchen.

I get the impression that she has decided to ascribe the usual partisan mockery that every politician gets (in Australia, both Rudd and Abbott have been attacked without stint) to “sexism”. The men don’t get to deflect criticism this way.

When she says, “murderous rage” she really means it.

The collectivists and Muzzies feel it all the time. This goes back to the days of Cain.

The murder of 250 million by their hand during the 20th century gives you an idea of how intensely they feel it.

This doesn’t include the one billion children murdered in the womb globally since 1973.

Oh, shut up, you leftist hack. You got attacked because you were a godless commie who ran Australia off a cliff. Go back to your cave.

Give me a break, she is like an Obama clone and if anyone was a sexist, it was she. She tried to run Oz like Obama does the USA, using class warfare and throwing around sexism charges. The Aussie people didn’t like that and even her own party didn’t like it.

With this tantrum she has shown herself to be totally unsuited and unqualified for the job that was hers as Prime Minister.

Its a shame Australia had to waste time with someone like this.

The subhuman troll should return to her cave where she can whine all she wants...in private. Your country kicked you out, you whiney loser. Take your crappy policy ideas with you, you leftist hag.

I wonder how appalled she would be at the level of hatred directed at W when he was in office......

If you can’t bear the labor, don’t get pregnant.

I put that delicately...

Taking it personal? They weren't interested in you agenda so you blame it on sexism, shows you how much confidence you had in yourself and your abilities

What's the definition of a “sexist”? It's somebody winning a debate with a female Maoist.

By the time we were sick of hearing her talk to us like we were in kindergarten, her accusations of gender-bias against the first female Prime Minister of Australia, who wasn't ELECTED, were falling on deaf ears...because it was so difficult to tell which side of the issue she was coming from, even after she apparently took up knitting.

Leftists are always in a murderous rage, and often act on it.

She’s no Margaret Thatcher, that’s for sure. NOT tough as nails. But I’d expect nothing less when it comes out of the mouth of a whiny leftist.

Thank God the adults are back in charge in Oz.
