A national domestic violence plan needs more time before its effects will be seen, according to federal Social Services Minister Amanda Rishworth.
Federal Social Services Minister Amanda Rishworth says the national domestic violence plan needs more time for its effects to be seen.
There is heightened national focus on the prevalence of male violence against women this week following a series of homicides.Ms Rishworth will join Prime Minister Anthony Albanese at a rally against gender-based violence in Canberra on Sunday afternoon, one of a series being held across the country.
Instead, she said, the government believed it needed to "get on with the job" of implementing the national plan to end violence against women, agreed by national cabinet in 2022. Ms Rishworth said the money had been provided to states and territories, which were "recruiting as we speak". "For an individual to call out violent behaviour if they see it, to call out disrespectful attitudes to women, this is at the heart of what is being called for," she said.'Beggars belief': Molly Ticehurst's death exposes gaps in justice system, former magistrate says
