Outspoken actress Miriam Margolyes has made a very short and sharp comment to express her dislike for Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott . The English performer , who divides her time between the U.K. and Australia , did not hold back when asked what she thought of the man in the country 's top job by an audience member on the ABC TV show Q & A . Famous for her no-nonsense manner , the 73-year-old Harry Potter star bluntly replied with : ' I think he 's a tit ' . Scroll down for video . Actress Miriam Margolyes ( right ) called Tony Abbott ( left ) a 'tit' on the ABC TV show Q & A . Twitter lit up with nothing but praise for Margolyes ' bold remark with one suggesting she become the next PM . The woman prefaced the question by pointing out that Margolyes had previously described former Labor Prime Minister Julia Gillard as fascinating - and that she even went as far to say that Bob Hawke , another former Labor Prime Minister , was 'just ravishing ' . The woman then asked if the actress had a similar opinion of the current leader which caused the studio to erupt into laughter . Following Margolyes ' comment , which is a word commonly used as an insult in Britain , she remained unusually quiet when fellow panel members had their say . Editor-in-chief of Mamamia . Jamila Rizvi , was the first to chime in with ' I think you 're supposed to say ten points to Hufflepuff ' - making a reference to Harry Potter in which the actress stars in one of the movies as Professor Sprout . The show 's host , Tony Jones , then asked Assistant Treasurer Josh Frydenberg to describe his boss in just one word and then suggested that some of his colleagues describe him as 'doomed ' . Twitter followers are impressed with how Margolyes is n't afraid to say what she thinks . Mr Frydenberg was quick to respond that Mr Abbott was 'decent ' and then felt the need to elaborate because he felt he was a minority with that particular view in the room . 'This is a guy who well before he ventured into politics was a hard-working member of his local community as an SES volunteer , as a surf lifesaver , ' he said . 'He does n't go out and do that stuff with a camera in tow - he 's a father of three beautiful girls , he 's a happily married husband and he 's and he 's hard worker in this top job . ' Ms Rizvi then replied that the first word that came to her mind when she thought of Mr Abbott was : 'time-limited ... .with a hyphen ' . While Trisha Jha , from the Centre for Independent Studies , chose to stay out of the slinging match . ' I only have one thing to say and that is the tit is a lovely bird , ' she said . Meanwhile , Twitter lit up with nothing but praise for Margolyes ' bold remark . # Miriam Margolyes is aaaaawwwssssoooommmmm # qanda Finally someone not fearful to sy real facts , ' Abby Saleh posted . 'Great work # Miriam Margolyes say it how it is ! Love ya work ! ' Lisa Turner said . While another user was impressed that a Harry Potter reference got a mention on the show .
