It's not that we don't understand family, domestic and sexual violence.

Unfortunately, we understand it all too well because it is so prevalent.

We also know the answer to some of what is working to change.

We're seeing positive change.

We've got some really good pointers here.

to what we should be doing more of.

And so actually the big opportunity now, I think, is in refocusing our efforts to do more of what's working, less of what's not working, and pick up where we've got gaps.

So we've got a national plan on violence against women and their children.

We're launching the consultation on the second action plan for that.

This is sounding very bureaucratic.

I don't mean it to.

What that means is...

what are the specific practical actions that we need to be doing now as a federal government, as state and territory governments, and right across our community to change the incidence of violence in our community.

Those deaths are horrific.

And they are the most obvious pointer to where we've failed.

But

For every death, there are thousands of people who never come into contact with police or the service system.

We need to be reaching those people with better supports.

And most particularly, we need to be changing the attitudes and behaviours in our society that allow this sort of thing in the first place.

It's a huge job.
