Tanya Plibersek on PM’s ‘tone deaf’ DV comments
Social Services Minister Tanya Plibersek discusses the pressure for a national reckoning, the limits of government response and the growing concern about how violence is shaping the lives of young people.
Australia is again being forced to reckon with the violence being inflicted on women and children.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is adamant a royal commission isn’t the answer, dismissing the idea in an interview that’s gone viral.
But his sudden disdain for such an official probe is out of step with what thousands of Australians want to see in response to the scourge of domestic violence.
After another devastating week, thousands of people from all walks of life have backed calls for a royal commission into the killing of women and children at the hands of an intimate partner or someone they know.
