Former Australian PM explains why female world leaders 'complain' at washbasins.

Former Australian PM Julia Gillard told Emma Barnett women leaders often talk in bathrooms at world summits, and complain about media focus on their appearance, not their policy.

The former Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard has told BBC Radio 5 live that at world summits, female leaders often meet in the bathrooms and end up complaining about how they're written about for their clothes, not their policies.  Gillard, who was Australia's first female Prime Minister from 2010-2013, said she's shared "a wry smile with other female leaders about the ridiculous things that are written about us".
