AAP
Former prime minister Julia Gillard is set to be presented with an honorary degree from Victoria University.
The university will admit Australia's first female prime minister to the degree of Doctor of the University, honoris causa, on Tuesday afternoon.
The university cited Ms Gillard's contribution to Australian society as an MP, in particular her role championing disability and education reform, as the reason for the honour.
