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? From The Daily Aus, this is The Mirror. The four-part series dropping weekly from Monday 10 October. Produced and edited by Ninah Kopel. Researched by Lucy Tassell. Hosted by Billi FitzSimons.

In this episode we look at what happened after Julia Gillard made her famous misogyny speech - and whether it was enough to save her government.
