One in three Australian men admit to committing intimate partner abuse. Today’s report from Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS) is a shocking reminder of the increasing prevalence of gendered violence in our community. It has to end.

You can’t lie when you sell someone a chicken, but it’s legal to lie in political advertising in Australia. The deliberate spread of misinformation by parties and other groups was a prominent feature of the recent election. We have to fix this problem in the 48th Parliament.

Yesterday, the man who threatened to kill my family was sentenced. It’s not the first time he’s threatened harm to others - including journalists, minority groups and an MP. Online death threats are never okay & have a real world impact on those who are on the receiving end.
