## Resource

Former PM Julia Gillard has slammed a sexist “ditch the witch” billboard targeting Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan, recalling how she faced the same slur 15 years ago — a stark reminder that sexism in politics hasn’t vanished. Prime Minister Albanese condemned the campaign as unacceptable, warning that politics must be about ideas, not personal attacks, and calling for a de-escalation of rhetoric. The billboard’s funding by a brothel owner sparked backlash, with Victoria’s Attorney General and opposition leaders distancing themselves, stressing that misogyny has no place in public discourse. Even One Nation’s Pauline Hanson weighed in — advising Allan to “suck it up” and predicting her political future — further highlighting the toxic undercurrents still simmering in Australian politics.
