Sally Hasler says it well. Meanwhile I have been in contact with key policymakers Australia-wide to take up the recommendations of the Victorian report. The evidence base is overwhelming & there's no point in re-inventing the wheel. It's time for action.

We must focus on the fact that men killed 13 women during April.
If we started saying: "A man murdered a woman" rather than "a woman was murdered", it would be clear this is a male problem that needs to be fixed primarily by men.
