And, even better, one of them is with Harriet Harman 🙄talking about "Women in politics". You don't even know what a woman is, Julia, so how can you discuss that?!

It gets worse. Turns out Gillard is a judge on the Women's Prizes 2026 😡

She is described as "Julia Gillard is the former Prime Minister of Australia, and a women’s rights campaigner". Well they can fuck right off with that!! 😡

He’s in conversation with Julia Gillard, whose work as Chair of the Wellcome Trust supports science to solve the planet’s urgent challenges.

Somebody needs to tell the Hay Festival that Julia Gillard has no idea what science is.

Given the news from Aus re the Giggle court case, I won't trust myself to post a comment on this miserable, mistake of reproduction just now.

Theeyeballsinthesky · 15/05/2026 16:50

Do they take questions from the audience at Hay? I imagine there will be women with questions....

She is on the well-worn Sturgeon circuit. Not only Jesus but the donkey wept.

Yes, she is very much Australia's Sturgeon.

Trampling all over women's rights, whilst calling herself a feminist 🙄

Sturgeon is talking at the Borders Book Festival and I’ve got a ticket to her event. I doubt they will allow questions but I’ll ask for ideas just before I go, just in case. Shall we organise a protest aimed at Gillard?

You can read some of the article..

I was glad to see that someone had taken this banner into one of her talks.

Oops! I hadn't RTFT before posting the photo. Great links.

I am so glad women protested! A "feminist" throwing away women's rights.

ArabellaScott · 26/05/2026 14:15

Thank you to the woman or women with the banner and for attempting to ask the question.

I am angry with these posturing women who high handedly gave away the rights of women.

FeralWoman · 26/05/2026 14:32

If Gillard has any more appearances to go please go and protest against her. There’s a lot of pissed off Australian women who would love a quick chat with her or simply to yell at her and ask WTF she was thinking with the SDA amendments.

Well done to the woman who protested at the Hay festival.

Thank you to the TERFs who represented! ✊
