This will be triggering for many Victorians tonight.

In 2016 I dedicated my contribution on our family violence legislative reforms in memory of Nikki Francis-Coslovich.

Media, when you report on family violence, thank you for including 1800 Respect for those needing support.
Please also include Men’s Referral Service on 1300 766 491 for those at risk of using violence.

So many women will feel more vulnerable today, with the violence we have seen directed towards women in recent months & the weekend.
In Victoria we’ve implemented all 227 RC recs & have invested more than $3.86b - & the work continues - we’re determined to end gendered violence

In dark times, we must look for the light.

Thinking of you tonight, New South Wales.

Tonight, monuments across our state will be lit-up in tribute to those lost in yesterday's horrific events in Bondi.

Nothing we can do or say can help make sense of this senseless tragedy. But Victorians are sending love and light to the people of NSW in this moment of darkness.

A privilege to support the Ballarat community last night.
“We can make a choice... We can chose to not use violence. And we need the men in our community to stand up and do exactly that.”
Thank you to the men who marched with women last night.
Together we can make change happen

Strong words by our Premier Jacinta Allan , our Chair of Respect Victoria and more.
Every Victorian has a role to play in ending violence against women.
We all do. The violence must end; it takes lives, damages families and costs Victoria and Victorians over $8b a year.

Well said Essendon FC ‘s Kyle Langford -

“But any kind of homophobic language is just not acceptable in today's game or even society”
