Cannot even begin to understand the thinking on this one!

The government set up a 'rapid review' panel on prevention.

Despite the crisis of murdered and disappeared Aboriginal women, the panel doesn't include any Indigenous women. Important story here:

11 women so far this year. It’s February. Stop killing us.

[Sherele Moody (Femicide Researcher) 🌈 @ShereleMoody]

❤️SHE MATTERS: REBECCA YOUNG!❤️

This is Rebecca Young. On Friday, Rebecca’s partner stabbed her multiple times at Sebastopol, Victoria. She did not survive his attack.
After ending Rebecca’s life, the coward killed himself. Two of Rebecca’s five children were at home when her life was erased.
Rebecca is the 11th Australian woman killed this year and the sixth woman murdered in the past 18 days.
It’s been pretty hard to piece together Rebecca’s life. But what I can tell you is, she was raising five children, she was a disability support worker and she had moved into her home in the past six to 12 months.
What is becoming clear is the ongoing abuse Rebecca was forced to endure. Her killer was known to police. On his social media profile he presents as a doting dad and also as a big tough bikie. But in reality, he was a shallow violent man who should have been stopped well before he killed Rebecca.
With Rebecca’s death, I’m reminded of all the women who fall through the cracks of our safety nets. We lost Amarjit Kaur Sardar on Friday as well. Her story is very much the same as Rebecca’s. A woman trapped in a violent situation by circumstance. A woman dead because the holes in our safety nets are far too wide and the fixes are far too narrow.
I’m also reminded of all the times women have been victim-blamed for their own murders and I’m reminded of all the men who invariably bombard my She Matters posts with their visceral #NotAllMen, #WomenDoItTo and #LesbiansAreViolent mantras, yelling at me in an attempt to prove me wrong about how violence against women is one of the biggest social justice issues facing our country. Here’s a big tip: If most women - and indeed men - are being killed by males, it’s proof gendered violence is the problem. If we end male violence we not only save women’s lives – we will also save many hundreds of men.
There is no end to this epidemic in sight and we are on track to lose as many women this year as we did last year (74 femicides in 2023 by my count).
It’s far too late for Rebecca. But at least, you now know her name and can see her face. And you know, she matters.

RIP REBECCA YOUNG! ❤

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.

Amazing ad. And a killer campaign message.

[Adam Parkhomenko @AdamParkhomenko]

Can we get 500 retweets on this? This is one hell of an ad from the Democrat running for US Senate in North Dakota. The question is whether people will watch it and share it.

"We can't allow this level of harm to continue."

After eight weeks of evidence, across the past six months, Northern Territory Coroner Elisabeth Armitage has adjourned her landmark inquiry into the NT's domestic, family and sexual violence system.

Important #abc730 report exposing links between No campaign and right-wing group Advance Australia.

The referendum has been hijacked by a campaign of fear & disinformation by shadowy groups who aren't who they seem.

Australia needs truth in political advertising!

Under the former LNP Govt, Warren Mundine's companies received more than $7.1 million in govt contracts.

His company Nyungga Black Group also received govt funding for a Sky News program called Mundine Means Business. It's nice for some. 😏 #auspol #VoteYes #Yes23au

We already have proof the Voice will work

[Julian Leeser MP @JulianLeeser]

Everytime there's a change in policy that affects Indigenous people, there's a claim it will result in years of litigation. The Voice won't. The parliament will set a procedure and the courts will ensure it complies with the rule of law.

How you vote is totally up to you but we’ve decided to run a radio advertising campaign urging people not to fall for all the bullshit that’s being thrown around by the NO campaign. Just don’t let anyone treat you like a mug - if you don’t know, find out! https://t.co/iyZ5aArZfS

[mandy taylor @taylorcomms]

If you can't make your point without physically attacking someone, you need to step back, take a deep breath and ask yourself wtf you are doing.
And to those instigating and egging on the hate, let's hope you aren't next.
