Prime Minister Albanese is tackling domestic and family violence head-on at the national cabinet, rallying all state leaders to unify efforts against a crisis that’s surged 70% in reported sexual assaults since 2010. While federal funding has added hundreds of new workers since 2022, some states are scaling back their own investments — a move the PM plans to confront directly. With young men under 20 most likely to offend and kids aged 10–16 among the biggest victims, urgent systemic change is needed. Crossbench MPs are pushing for enforceable action, including a dedicated commission with real investigative power. Social Services Minister Plibersek also warned about harmful online messages targeting boys and called for institutions to treat allegations seriously — because real change can’t wait for another tragedy.
