Julia Eileen Gillard (born 29 September 1961) is a former Australian politician who served as the 27th Prime Minister of Australia from 2010 to 2013, as leader of the Australian Labor Party. She previously served as the 13th Deputy Prime Minister of Australia, and held the positions of Minister for Education, Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations and Minister for Social Inclusion from 2007 to 2010. She was the first and to date only woman to hold the positions of deputy prime minister, prime minister and leader of a major party in Australia.
Born in Barry, Wales, Gillard migrated with her family to Adelaide, South Australia, in 1966. She attended Mitcham Demonstration School and Unley High School. Subsequently, Gillard studied at the University of Adelaide, but cut short her courses to move to Melbourne, Victoria, in 1982, where she worked with the Australian Union of Students and served as the organisation's president from 1983 to 1984. Gillard later graduated from the University of Melbourne, with a Bachelor of Laws degree (1987) and a Bachelor of Arts degree (1990). In 1987, she joined the law firm Slater & Gordon and became a partner in 1990, specialising in industrial law. A departure from the law firm in 1996 saw Gillard serve as chief of staff to the Leader of the Opposition in Victoria John Brumby, which preceded her own entry into federal politics.

Plot: Scotch Thistle and Cane Toad are sick of being classified as 'Weeds and Pests', so they ask wise old Platypus for advice. She advises them to travel to Canberra to ask Julia Gillard to reclassify them as 'desirable' species. However Julia's suggested solution (containing them in detention centres for processing as export products) does not appeal to them, so they head back home. Unfortunately, when they get there, a goat looking for the symposium on Weeds and Pests steps on Cane Toad and eats Thistle. But all ends well when they end up on a cloud in Heaven.

Julia Gillard's Famous Anti-Tony Abbott Misogyny Speech. We can all learn something from this powerful speech. As Prime Minister of Australia, Julia Gillard proved herself as one of the best Prime Minister's the country has ever had. However she experienced a level of bullying, sexism and misogyny to an extent never witnessed in our history. Being the first woman Prime Minister, she blazed a trail for women everywhere. Look at how she stands up and speak out. Inspiring! If you have ever been victimised unjustly, this speech will inspire you to stand up for yourself and call out unacceptable behaviour. YOU CAN DO IT! This famous speech has been edited so as to summarise for an international audience. Specifically I edited out references to politics-of-the-day that no one outside Aust...

This is not meant to discriminate against women, rather simply display that of personal and justified reality, in which, Julia Gillard, our Prime Minister, disgustingly denies. Furthermore - I have zero problems with a female leader, but, for a leader, she is yet another horrible one. I still hate Tony Abbott. Guy's a massive cunt. But, Julia's also a massive cunt as well. To be honest, they're both horrible human beings. But, in all immense reality, I had to side with Tony on this one. Men are better at some things as opposed to women, and it goes two ways. That's just reality that she needs to accept and move on with. She didn't even answer the fucking question, rather just plead victim like the cunt she truly, truly is.
