Gillard's slur a hit last year, withdrawn this The Opposition should have made the same protest last year, when Julia Gillard first tried that foul smear. But at least this time she's forced to withdraw it: After describing herself as "a feisty lady" and slamming the Opposition Leader as "a policy weak man" during question time, Ms Gillard spat "Misogynist Tony is back" across the dispatch box after taking her seat... Amid the uproar, manager of opposition business Christopher Pyne leapt to his feet and repeated the word, demanding that the Speaker make her withdraw... Ms Burke said she had not heard the Prime Minister's remarks but asked her to withdraw. "If the Leader of the Opposition is upset in any way then I withdraw," she said. As Coalition members erupted in fury, Ms Burke ordered the Prime Minister to apologise "unreservedly" and sat down manager of government business Anthony Albanese as he attempted to take a point of order. The Opposition should have responded just as strongly last year.
