Domestic Violence

[grandmoon]

Prime Minister Tony Abbott says he believes a meeting between federal, state and territory leaders is the best forum to tackle domestic violence.

His comment follows a call by Opposition Leader Bill Shorten in January for a national crisis summit on the issue so survivors, police, child protection officers, women's shelter staff, judges and federal, state and territory leaders could devise a national plan.

Seventeen in every 100 Australian women has faced violence from a current or previous partner, and on average one is killed each week.

"It's a national disgrace," Mr Shorten told reporters in Canberra.

What do you think needs to see changed ??

He is indeed vacuous, and he does everything right.    .

Are you going to answer the question ?

Or avoid it ?


You obviously didnt understand what I posted earlier, i'll sum it up.
You deserve what little help you get because of your attitude.

I'll humour you.  What question.

I assumed you had started on the wine.

Don't agree = you have a bad attitude!

We don't have a women's refuge here, anyone that might need one, gets put in a motel for a night if they are lucky. They cut funding to the ones in Wgong area.. all the exisiting ones had to apply for funding and some got it, the others left to close.

How do they (Govt) think women can get away from a violent relationship if there is no where for them to go?

It's obviously our my fault, because I criticised the PM.

Queensland already set up a task force last year, and it is well underway.

Abbott is playing copycat catch-up for a boost.

Oh really?   Can he do anything right in your view?  Saying things like that makes people sound a bit vacuous imo

Big noting yourself by saying you will do something after you have slashed funding by a massive amount is vacuous.

Laughing about women being allowed to have their women's day lunch in a men's only club is a full blown fustercluck.

7 hours ago?  I could have driven to Newcastle by now.

I was right.  The wine is flowing.  History gets fuzzy when you drink, didn't anyone ever tell you that?

Lack of sleep makes one less sharp as well.

Yes, PM all talk and no action. Not as if he increased funding for women's refuges since the last election...if he did that it would be well received.
