This is not a speech you typically see a politician give.

During a session of parliament, Australian PM Julia Gillard gave a stern drubbing to Tony Abbott of the opposition party, calling him a hypocrite and a misogynist for various comments he has made throughout his career.

The whole thing seems to have been prompted by Abbott's comments about a scandal involving the Aussie Speaker of the House, who is resigning over lurid text messages.

Anyway, watch the video ... certainly not like anything you'd see in U.S. politics. In addition to the intensity of the speech (which really picks up at the 3 minute mark), you can really see Abbott get increasingly uncomfortable as the speech goes on. He starts by smiling at the charges of being sexist to appearing deeply uncomfortable.
