With the federal budget less than a fortnight away, those attending a large rally outside Parliament House urged the government to walk the walk and commit to concrete actions. Society and Australia must do better. We need to change the culture and we need to change attitudes.
We need to change the legal system. It's not enough to support victims. We need to focus on the perpetrators, focus on prevention.
Rally organisers said more than 30 women had been killed in incidents of men's violence in 2024, including domestic violence and the Bondi Junction stabbing where police believe women were the offender's main target.
We need to stop talking about women's safety and get on and tackle men's violence. There were women at the march today, like me, [who have] been marching on this issue for decades and decades and decades.
