This week, new datasets were released by ABS that paint a bleak picture - 1 in 5 Australians experienced partner violence including emotional and economic abuse.

[No to Violence @NTVorg]

On average, a man in Australia kills a woman he knows every 10 days. It doesn’t have to be this way. Family and domestic violence is everyone’s problem. But it begins – and ends – with men.

@PeterCronau Switzer was a US neocon parachuted into Australia as an Opinion Editor by Rupert to dictate the narrative. Formerly of US Studies Centre & American Enterprise Institute. If we get a media Royal Commission (we won't) it should examine how he ever got appointed to the ABC.

[Peter Cronau @PeterCronau]

Tom Switzer gets ‘resigned’ from ABC over backlash to his outside conservative and pro-Liberal Party lobbying role.

Eight years fronting as a journalist — while also a rightwing lobbyist, open supporter of Liberal Party, and latterly director of far right neoliberal ‘think’ tank, the Centre for Independent Studies.

And, CIS are supporters and employers of conservative pro-establishment lobbyists Jacinta Price & Warren Mundine. Just saying.

Lehrmann unable to explain the existence of a mystery card which CCTV shows he used to pay for the drinks he bought Ms Higgins, having earlier denied he'd bought her any drinks and given bank records of his "only two cards" to the AFP to prove it.

[Mike Carlton @MikeCarlton01]

Posturing nonsense. The editor of the Herald, Bevan Shields, enjoyed an all-expenses paid junket to Israel. Should he not “participate in any reporting or production relating to the war ?”

[Catherine (Rollison) Williams @catrollison]

Bruce Lehrmann didn’t expect to ever be held accountable for the plethora of lies he told about that night.

He presumably anticipated he’d get an undisclosed settlement with 7 figures on the court room steps.

Bravo Channel 10 & Lisa Wilkinson for fighting this case.

The calm before the walk! 🧡

Getting ready to walk in solidarity with victim-survivors of family violence towards a safer, equal & respectful Victoria.

Join us outside Victorian parliament at 11am today! #WAFV2023

[No to Violence @NTVorg]

Here’s our CEO Phillip Ripper explaining why it was so important for No to Violence to be at the Walk Against Family Violence today.

[Jane Caro @JaneCaro]

I applaud @zalisteggall for her campaign on this. Ads for products & services cannot lie & all claims must be substantiated. It is outrageous that the same does not apply to political advertising.

The great housing paradox: Everyone agrees that housing affordability is one of Australia’s biggest economic problems, if not the biggest, but promising genuinely to fix it will ensure that you don’t get elected.

A small amount of progress is being made but too many men are still choosing to use family violence.

It was great to speak to my old university about my work, although surely that date can’t be right?! 33 years since I left… that made me pause for thought

[Natalie Hutchins @NatHutchins]

It was a privilege to launch Our Equal State, Victoria’s Gender Equality Strategy and Action Plan in the Warrnambool today with @JacintaErmacora. We are committed to ensuring that all Victorians can live in a fairer and more equal state.

[Dr Tracy Westerman AM @TracyWesterman]

Absolute props to @Malarndirri19 for strongly calling this out.
I am appalled, dismayed and ashamed with what gets said in our parliament about Indigenous ppl. It’s the foundations for the racism we are seeing in the general public becoming not only normalised but associated with a sense of pride. Is this who we really are?

[Anthony Klan @Anthony_Klan]

🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨Anti-Voice and "anti-elite" campaigner Warren Mundine has been given over $520,000 of shares in a uranium mining company for a role as "non-executive director". He has been paid over $580k in just his first 18 months in the part-time role..

The same Karl Stefanovic who makes $1.5 mil, and who loses it at Labor whenever they so much as *think* about touching his tax concessions?

What is the point of standing back and doing nothing about widening inequality when blokes like Karl are going to rip into them anyway?
