bt, new yorker has a writeup of it.
I agree with pretty much all of that. The situation itself was a highly political one - the government has a Parliamentary majority of 1, thanks only to the support of a smattering of independents and the circumstances surrounding the Speaker's appointment, so she has great incentive to defend him and the Opposition to attack him. But Gillard's sustained attack on Abbott went well beyond that. I suspect the conservative side bringing her father into things was the last straw; but there's been misogynist hate-speak against her ever since she got into the position. (In decidedly shady circumstances, it must be admitted.) I'm very pleased to see her smacking it down.
