NSW police say DFV is 40% of calls. NSW Police cost $5 billion per year. NSW Police are the worst responders - survivors attest police are a last or non resort, saying the reasons are fear and mistrust of police, who regularly criminalise and endanger victims.

Australia knows how to end gender-based violence. What we lack is the political will to make the fiscal decisions that match the crisis, writes Katherine Berney.

Earlier, @davidpocock.bsky.social calls out Plibersek for saying critics of the amendment (to cut ppl's welfare before they're guilty) "are on the side of rapists & murderers"

So Labor and the Liberals teamed up to pass legislation to give police the power to recommend cancellation of Centrelink payments of people who have not been found guilty of a crime by a court of law. It’s discriminatory financial punishment of people in poverty who are already over-policed

Labour are putting in place all of the tools and eliminating fundamental protections that will enable Reform to come in 2029 and govern in an overtly fascist and totalitarian way. No jury trials, digital ID, elimination of the ECHR etc. It feels intentional.
This will only end badly.

Australia is now, to all intents and purposes, a one-party state. The ALP and the LNP are just different factions of the same right-wing party. Maybe the LNP faction is a little more obvious about being complete shitheads, but at least they're honest about being shitheads.
