Thank you, Ruby.
I agree it is a really hard time to be a woman in Australia right now.
When I hear of another homicide, I feel shocked.
I find it deeply upsetting to hear of another woman who has been killed in some of the most sadistic and horrific ways and now in a position of responsibility for trying to make some change in that.
I feel that as a weight.
I definitely feel that as I have a responsibility to try and make as much change as I can, really trying to understand what policies need to change and how I can influence that policy change.
So it's both personal and then it's sort of like I've got this real responsibility to do something about this.
How can I do this?
I think I have glimpses of it.
I think the fundamental cause is gender inequality and very rigid stereotypes, values, norms, but that doesn't mean all men kill or that all domestic and family violence ends in homicide.
So the actual homicide part of it, the evidence is that there's three categories, some who it's more sort of haphazard, it's alcohol-related, drug-related, and in some ways it's the same violence but it just tips over into homicide.
And then there's the other where there's the coercive control where it's sort of typified by your typical white middle-class professional man.
And the third scenario is where someone's had a crisis in their life.
So it's often older men.
For example, they've had a mental health incident or had a particularly difficult sort of crisis in their life.
And then they sort of go downhill and then suddenly kill.
National Plan is...
in itself, has good objectives.
It's how we implement it.
We really need to see a decent investment of money.
