THE PM has laughed about the media focus on what she is wearing during a visit with students in Melbourne today.
"I joke with my female friends that most women who spend a lot of time worrying about what they're wearing want other people to comment on it and say how well-dressed they are," Julia Gillard said during a question and answer session with Nunawading Christian College students.
"I spend a lot of time having to worry about what I'm wearing so no-one comments on it. It's a complete reverse of how most women think about their wardrobe."
Ms Gillard, in Melbourne today doing the hard sell on her education funding reforms package ahead of Friday's Council of Australian Governments meeting, said that being the first female PM inevitably brought a different image of leadership.
"I joke with my male colleagues about how easy they get it. All they have to do is pick a suit, pick a shirt, pick a tie. They get to wear sensible, flat shoes and no-one ever says anything about it and if they wear the same suit a few days a week, no-one ever says 'gee they have got the same suit on'."
Ms Gillard said for her the questions were asked "how come she's got the same jacket on? Why is she wearing flat shoes? If she's in high heels is she going to stumble over today?"
She said the focus was slowly switching from commentary about her clothes to the things that matter.
Ms Gillard later told media she would be urging state premiers and chief ministers on Friday to "do the right thing" and back her new $14.5billion schools funding plan to ensure every Australian school is properly resourced.
"I don't want any of our children to be left behind.
"I want every child to get a great education. I want every school to have the resources to offer a great education and I want to make sure our nation gets stronger and smarter and fairer in the future and that all starts in Australian schools."
At Nunawading Christian College, students asked Ms Gillard her advice for female students, about asylum seeker policies and what legacy she wants to leave.
The PM also attended the Maroondah Schools ANZAC Service, staged by the Rotary Club of Ringwood.
