Mr Turnbull and Ms Cash were joined by domestic violence campaigner Rosie Batty and former Victoria Police commissioner Ken Lay in Melbourne today to announce the package.

Some key aspects of the new package are:

• $17m to expanding existing programs aimed at keeping women safe at the home, including improving access to CCTV and locks.

• $5m to the 1800 RESPECT hotline

• $2m to MensLine services • $21m to help Indigenous women and those in remote communities

• A $12m trial with state governments to use GPS tracking for high-risk domestic violence offenders

• $5m to 20,000 mobile phones across Australia for women whose access to technology is compromised

• $5m to developing and improving the Safe Schools website

• Improved training for frontline services, including general practitioners, doctors, nurse, magistrates and police

• Identifying domestic violence hotspots

Mr T

urnbull said disrespect of women was a key root cause of family violence and needed to be addressed. "This is a big cultural shift," he said. "Of course, the vast majority of men do respect women. But many do not. "We must make it un-Australian to disrespect women. "We must become a country which is known for its respect of women."

$100m funding

I don't agree with him that this is the main issue, it's not disrespect of women that's the problem, it's lack of control, not understanding boundaries in personal interaction with others across the board.

At least they're trying.

Again it appears to be all about treating the disease rather than the cause.

All the rules in the world won't stop a maniac from carrying out the unspeakable.

If we want to treat the disease then why not.....

A 'special' ankle bracelet for the bad person and another for those

needing protection.

The bad person's ankle bracelet sends spikes into the ankle

if they get within 5 metres of the other person's bracelet.

I did envisage one around the neck that tightened but that wouldn't

be civilised.

$21 million for indigenous women/outback communities? ... That's a huge % to just one group of people

Oh, merged. No indication of, just done. So is this a jokey thread or a serious one?

$100 million wasted because yet again, seeking pats on the back instead of actually acheiving anything.

Just seems strange that such a high % is going to such a small % of people ...... Perhaps banning grog, drugs, petrol sniffing, encouraging them to go to school , get a job etc would work better and cost the taxpayer less $$$$ .... Would like to know how this money is going to be spent to fix the prob

Yes, but the same for the rest of the distribution. What is it going to "fix"? Absolutely nothing, because they seem to have no clue on what the actual problem is, just throwing money at the end result.

Anyway, no one really gives a toss. 🙂

Before we get too distracted by the detail, how do these numbers compare with the amounts cut from women's services recently?

You put it there, how long ago? But you can't remember when? Or why?
