National and NSW Cabinet meetings this week will discuss men's violence against women, including the role that online misogyny plays in shaping boys’ and young men’s attitudes towards women.

I discussed this with Sarah Ferguson on abc730 last night: ab.co/3xYwuEw.

It was fantastic to see the high turnout at rallies across the country this weekend calling for an end to men's violence against women. We must keep the momentum going towards meaningful change.

I discussed this with Dan Bourchier today on ABC News.

Thank you to Fran Kelly for having me on the Saturday Extra show on ABC Radio National this morning, together with Patty Kinnersly CEO Patty Kinnersly, discussing 'what will it take to stop women being murdered?'

I was delighted to facilitate the ‘Stronger Together’ roundtable in Newcastle today. Bringing together religious & community leaders from across the region, we saw inspired discussion of how local leaders can help identify, prevent & respond to domestic, family & sexual violence.

Since Justice Lee delivered his landmark judgment last week in the Bruce Lehrmann defamation trial, I’ve been pleased to see widespread discussion of the trauma-informed approach that underpinned it. This sets an important precedent for the legal system & the wider community.

I welcome Federal AG Mark Dreyfus’s call for men to step up to address the crisis of male violence in Australia.

'To create lasting change, women cannot be expected to solve violence against women alone. It’s time for men to step up.'

I am deeply saddened by the tragedy in Bondi over the weekend. It was a shocking crime and a senseless loss of life. My thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones, and all those who responded at the scene with such skill and compassion.

Great to see that the Rentstart Bond Loan Scheme has been expanded so people fleeing domestic & family violence can now access an interest-free loan of between 25% & 100% of their rental bond to secure a tenancy.

It was great to host a forum last week on strengthening domestic, family & sexual violence governance in NSW. Strong governance is crucial for the complex whole-of-government activities that are required in this area. Thanks to the ministers & senior govt officials who attended.
