bishop calls on pm to apologise

Julie gave speech this morning asking the pm to apologise.

It was a fine speech from a very capable politician and tend to agree with her.

Heres some of what she said.

"It is a vile slur, she should apologise to the women in Tony Abbott's life, and she should withdraw it," Ms Bishop said in a speech to the Liberal Party's Victorian State Council in Ballarat on Saturday.

Ms Bishop opened her speech - in which she accused the Prime Minister of hiding behind her gender - with an address directly to the party's female members and candidates.

The country needs a coalition government now more than ever to "restore pride to this great country", she said."
