Prime Minister joins rallies calling for end to violence against women The prime minister will join thousands of demonstrators as they march for a third day throughout Australia to demand action to end violence against women. A dozen rallies will be held in major cities and regional towns on Sunday as part of a series of national events calling for a break in the cycle of violence that has claimed the lives of at least 26 women so far in 2024, according to Destroy the Joint.
Anthony Albanese will attend the Canberra rally on Sunday after former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull and NSW Premier Chris Minns joined crowds at the Sydney event on Saturday. A 30-year-old Perth woman was allegedly murdered with WA police taking a man in his 30s, who was known to her, into custody on Friday. It comes after the regional town of Ballarat was rocked by the alleged murders of Samantha Murphy, Rebecca Young and Hannah McGuire at the hands of men within two months.
