More women have been murdered since 2024 by men than all Australians killed by terrorism globally in the past 100 years. Yet there are no Royal Commission’s for women still. No emergency task forces. No addresses to the nation. No days of mourning
"So far this year 34 women have been killed by their partners"
"Budget found $604m for antisemitism .. found nothing to increase domestic violence services"

An 18-year-old woman in Queensland faces two years in jail for wearing a shirt that says "from the river to the sea."
In Australia, you can bankroll mass murder and sleep fine. But wear a shirt that says "from the river to the sea"?Two years in prison.
Queensland Police will arrest and charge you for wearing a top with the slogan 'from the river to the sea'. But when a woman goes to the cop shop to report donestic violence, she's likley yo be told 'come back when it gets physical' or police are likely to tell perps how to avoid DVOs.
The PM calling Grace Tame, a woman fighting for the safety of children, “difficult” is completely unwarranted.
Labelling women as difficult won’t silence us. It won’t stop us speaking truth to power.
Next time try “unbreakable” or “warrior” or “fierce”, Prime Minister.
At what point does the international community’s ‘responsibility to protect’ deliver decisive action to stop the massacres?
When will there be a strong, unequivocal Australian response backed by action we can and must take to fulfil our obligations under the Genocide Convention? #auspol
Attacking women and children while they cower in their shelters in Rafah is a monstrous atrocity. We need concerted global action to stop Israel’s actions now. https://t.co/gUYVFePprW
Dear Brittany,
YOU are believed.
YOU ARE believed.
YOU ARE BELIEVED.
And Australia, hang your head in shame for how you have treated this young rape victim. Never again.

❤️SHE MATTERS: AMARJIT KAUR SARDAR!❤️
Most people know her as the 'tractor death' or 'slasher death' victim but she has a name - Amarjit Kaur Sardar.
On Friday, Amarjit's husband allegedly murdered her and then tried to make her death look like an accident at Woodhill in Queensland.
He even called 000, allegedly lying about how the 41-year-old woman died.
He has since been charged with her murder.
Amarjit is the 10th Australian woman killed this year. Amarjit is more than a headline.
She was raising two children, working on a property in Queensland and living her life the best she could.
She was also experiencing (allegedly) ongoing violence at the hands of her husband.
We know police attended the home following multiple reports of abuse - and yet her alleged abuser remained free.
Amarjit was also being supported by a local domestic violence support service.
It will take time before we know exactly how and why Amarjit fell through the cracks of the domestic violence and police safety nets that were meant to support her.
In the meantime, I can only hope this woman is remembered as more than just the 'slasher' victim.
Remembering her name is the least we can do for Amarjit and for her children. She matters.
RIP AMARJIT KAUR SARDAR! ❤️

I document ALL unlawful deaths of women and children, regardless of perpetrator gender or relationship between the person killed and the accused. This means not every death is due to domestic and family violence. Australians are also killed by strangers, friends, colleagues, neighbours and other people known to them.

FMD! "cop shopping" QPS said 😡😡
"In the final frantic days before she was murdered, Kelly Wilkinson visited multiple police stations, warning she was in danger. Official police notes say she was “cop shopping”." @BenSmee https://t.co/pWj6PqFiFa
For the 10th time this year and the fifth time this month, a woman has been erased by an act of male violence in Australia. Detectives have charged a man with murder following the death of a 41-year-old woman at Woodhill in Qld yesterday. She was allegedly run down with a tractor. It's understood he is her partner. He is also charged with interfering with a corpse. She is the 10th woman killed this year. ❤️
BREAKING:
Despite protestations it was “bullshit”, leaked messages reveal @antoinette_news was sacked after a coordinated campaign and a legal threat to sue the ABC, for her views on Israel. Her Fair Work Commission hearing is on Jan 18.
For all those who’ve watched the incredibly painful & heart-rending testimony today of Britt Higgins’ parents at the Bruce Lehrmann trial: if you still think any woman would make up a sexual assault just to try to damage an election result, you’ve got fucking rocks in your head.
