Ten years ago, Julia Gillard made her famous misogyny speech. Our first female prime minister told then opposition leader, Tony Abbott, to look in the mirror.
When she stood up that day and said 'enough', it resonated around the world.
But ten years on, how far have we come?
We've continued to hear chilling accounts of harassment and assault in the heart of our political system.
And so when we look in the mirror today, what do we see?

"Misogyny. Every day in every way."
"I will not be lectured about sexism and misogyny by this man." Ten years ago Julia Gillard said these words to Tony Abbott, then leader of the Opposition. But her speech was about more than just one man. In this episode, we start at the beginning; the day Australia got its first female Prime Minister. From the moment she took the leadership, to the moment she made her most famous speech.
