This imaginative landscape is set in the Parliament House of Canberra (ACT). The landscape shows Julia Gillard in the chamber of the House of Representatives delivering the 'Misogyny Speech' to the members in the chamber, but mostly to Tony Abbott and his hatred of women. Julia Gillard's speech became global, some even described the speech as 'badass' and was 'much to admire.' The most famous chunk of the speech goes:
"I will not be lectured about sexism and misogyny by this man, I will not. And the Government will not be lectured about sexism and misogyny by this man. Not now, not ever. The Leader of the Opposition says that people who hold sexist views and who are misogynists are not appropriate for high office. Well, I hope the Leader of the Opposition has got a piece of paper and he is writing out his resignation."
Julia Gillard is wearing a radiant blue outfit in the landscape takes up nearly half of the landscape, making her eye-catching and in the centre of attention. That gives her a feeling of authority and powerfulness. The seats in the background of the landscape are of a dull and mundane algae-green colour, which shifts the viewer's attention to Julia Gilllard, making her appear even more in control and powerful. Different individuals of the community might interpret this imaginative landscape as a outstanding revolution for the females, since women are nearly always looked down upon, because of how serious and how sucessful-looking she appears to be. But on the other hand, some members of the community might feel intimidated because of the aggressive and almost devilish expression of her face. This might lead to them thinking that the Prime Minister is a corrupt and vile person and is planning to do vicious actions to the nation.
