Yes Phanto mixed response there, always be weary of blokes that deny
any sort of aggression to some but not others.

I am not aware of any response from Turnbull other than putting in 100 million to further the cause of finding a solution.

Turnbulls ignores the evidence; what is the evidence.

Hasbeen What are you so upset at Turnbull for, He is your new successor, the liberal party PM
He has been elected by his own political party and that is all that counts.
So lift your spirits and get drunk, that will cheer you up.

Throwing petrol on fires is not a clever idea.

In any tense situation, you either escalate, or deescalate the tension & the inconvenient truth is that feminism has trained women to escalate the tension. Then point to the predictable results of provoking people who are already mentally ill as evidence that "all men are bastards" so that they can justify hiring even more social workers.

Jobs for the girls is what this industry is all about & they don't care how many children become collateral damage in their gender wars.

Hasbeen,

You clearly had no illusions about Turnbull, and neither did I. The people who seem to like him, apart from himself, are his fellow back-stabber, Bishop, and the loony Left, who woudn't vote Liberal in a fit; the second proving what a rotter Turnbull is.

Brendan’s articles have been down this path before. The trouble is, he is guilty of the same sin he accuses the women’s lobby of, namely making assertions not backed by evidence. Mental illness, drug addiction, social conditioning, and cultural values all seem plausible as possible causes of domestic violence. Probably, all these and more are at work. Measures to address domestic violence should be driven by evidence, and their success measured by their effectiveness. But Brendan seems no less inclined to enter the debate driven by ideology than his opponents.

You are all missing the point, except that the author touched on what is possibly the main cause of domestic violence. That is the use of drugs and alcohol.
Back in the early sixties before Aboriginals were given access to alcohol there was a very low level of violence resulting in homicides in Aboriginal communities. Now it is a regular occurrence.
In white society, women who are blamed for starting arguments which lead to physical violence do so because their husbands have come home drunk and if the women themselves have also been drinking that will exacerbate the problem. Ditto for drugs. I would suggest that if men went home after work instead of going to the rubbity for a few drinks with their mates there would be less DV.
It would be great if there was a solution to the cause for DV, but the measures to be undertaken by the government should be lauded, and you people who are pouring sh1t on Mr.Turnbull should be ashamed of yourselves. The provision of more refuges for those at risk is to be applauded.
