ELECTION13 | Australian political leaders have made a video pitch to contestants in this year's Big Brother Australia house in the lead-up to Saturday's federal election.

Crossbench MP Rob Oakeshott says Australians should reflect on their attitudes to women following the ousting of Julia Gillard as prime minister.

Recent polling suggests that Prime Minister Julia Gillard’s attempt to reignite a political gender war has backfired, with the embattled Labor leader losing significant support amongst male voters after claiming that Tony Abbott would marginalise women and change abortion rights if elected to government.

Recalling his own ridicule at the hands of Julia Gillard, shadow treasurer Joe Hockey has rejected prime ministerial criticism of the Liberal Party.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard says a menu circulating on the internet from a Liberal National Party fundraising menu is “grossly sexist and offensive”, and the Opposition should disendorse former Howard government minister Mal Brough as the candidate for the Queensland seat of Fisher.
