Why doesn’t she just leave? For many reasons.
One being the cost of leaving, estimated to be up 71% in the past ten years according to a new report today.
The report comes as Pauline Hanson says domestic and family violence is a “two way street” and that “if these women are getting abused by men out there, then don’t put up with it.”
If only it were that simple!
And this, on the same day that we learn a 16yo boy has been charged with the murder of his mother and attempted murder of his 12yo sister.
Elsewhere, Carolyn Tate has investigated Services Australia’s claims it is cracking down on financial abuse. She finds that some of those who are most compliant, are being chased the hardest on childcare support payments.
And Gen Z is the first generation in which men are more religious than women. What’s going on? Here are a few theories.
Plus, we share more from our recent roundtable of women in business in Lismore, four years after the devastating floods of 2022. Communities are still rebuilding. These women are amazing, but this resilience does come with a cost.

“It is wrong, but it’s also a two-way street. I’m not saying that it’s just men, women can lose their cool as well. Society is under so much pressure … The pressures of cost of living, people having to pay the bills … Everyone is under so much pressure and it’s really hard. I don’t think we communicate enough with each other …Domestic violence is a scourge but look … I’ve been through it myself in my life. And I just feel if you’re not in a house where you feel safe … Then you shouldn’t put up with it. If these women are getting abused by men out there, then don’t put up with it.”
