Gillard: Leaders liked misogynist speech

Prime Minister Julia Gillard has said she will 'not be lectured about sexism and misogyny' by Tony Abbott.

PRIME Minister Julia Gillard says she has won global support for her attack on Tony Abbott as a misogynist.

Ms Gillard today said several world leaders, including female ones, had congratulated her on the controversial parliamentary speech about the Opposition Leader's attitude to women during the Asia Europe Summit in Laos this week.

This included French President Francois Hollande and female Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt.

Ms Gillard said there was "some approval".

"The President of France congratulated me on the speech, as did the Prime Minister of Denmark and some other leaders just casually as I've moved around have also mentioned it to me," she told ABC Radio this morning.

"So some approval here from some leaders at the Asia-Europe Meeting."

Prime Minister Julia Gillard said she wouldn't support Tony Abbott's call to have Peter Slipper removed as Speaker and said she would not be lectured on "sexism and misogyny" by the Opposition Leader. Picture: Kym Smith

Last month, a video of Ms Gillard's speech went viral and won praise from women for ripping into Mr Abbott's history of comments about females.

The clip has had 2.1 million views.

But the speech was also criticised given Ms Gillard was defending Peter Slipper to stay in the chair as Speaker at the time.

Mr Slipper resigned only hours after Labor voted to support him over inappropriate text messages about female sexual organs.
