The poll itself had some strong stuff (the sorry speech; the dismissal), so it’s interesting that this one came tops. It might speak to the demographics of the readership. Still, it’s a great speech and watching Tony Abbott being schooled by an outraged and eloquent Julia Gillard was a great moment in political theatre.

Some interesting background. So many women I know were, as was I, thrilled by the speech, because it spoke so directly to our experience. Fascinating that so many (mostly male) commentators dismissed it.
