Australian Prime Minister targets misogyny and sexism of opposition party leader

Julia Gillard, Australia's Prime Minister, gave a fiery speech last week directed right at Tony Abbott, leader of the nation's opposition party, and a motion he presented which he claims was motivated by his own support of women's equality. The notion of Abbott's support of women sent Gillard in a passionate attack on the opposition leader, citing numerous examples of his past sexism and misogyny.
Below is the full video of Gillard's speech and a shortened version and article can be found here.
What are your thoughts on Gillard's speech? Did she say what many women in politics would like to?
