In her first major interview since the latest leadership spill, former deputy leader of the Liberal Party Julie Bishop is set to speak out on the bluster, bullying and allegations of sexism in Australian politics.

Speaking with the Nine Network’s political editor Chris Uhlmann, Ms Bishop claims Australian politics has confounded the world, as the challenge and defeat of Malcolm Turnbull made headlines across the globe.

“I’ve had many calls from my counterpart foreign ministers who are very politely asking why I am no longer the foreign minister and what happened to the prime minister,” Ms Bishop says in a preview for tonight’s 60 Minutes report.

“There have been some rather unkind comments about Australia being the Italy of the South Pacific and the coup capital of the world.”

Ms Bishop’s interview comes as another woman this week deserted the Coalition and the nation was exposed to stories of male MPs bulling their female colleagues.

Many claim the latest leadership spill is a reflection of the wreckage they’ve been involved in for the last 10 years, with the focus on the bullying “theatre” of Question Time.

“It’s no better than school children,” Bishop says of the Question Time antics.

“In fact, not as well behaved as school children.”

Uhlmann speaks to not only the former deputy leader, but the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tony Smith, South Australian MP, Rebekah Sharkie, Labor’s Anthony Albanese and Liberal Craig Laundry. (60 Minutes)
