Bonus: Can a rapid intervention prevent further domestic violence disaster?
Amanda Rishworth is the federal Social Services Minister. Two years ago her department released an ambitious strategy to end domestic violence against women and their children in a generation. Recently, the Albanese government commissioned a rapid review with practical advice on further action to prevent gender-based violence. Is all of this enough to curb the distressing increase in domestic violence homicides we’ve seen in 2024? Join There’s No Place Like Home's Executive Producer Sally Spicer for a special bonus episode on what that rapid review has dubbed a national emergency.
