The Greens say day one of the Women\u2019s Safety Summit was yet another exercise in political theatre for a government that remains completely out of touch with Australian women.
\nGreens deputy leader and spokesperson on women Senator Larissa Waters said:<\/strong>
\n\u201cBless the experts at the Women\u2019s Safety Summit for so patiently saying the same things they’ve said so many times before!
\n\u201cIf the government had actually been listening to women, nothing said at today\u2019s summit should have been news to them.
\n\u201cWomen need more than yet another performative talkfest, they need a commitment to action.
\n\u201cIn his opening word salad the PM talked about opening eyes and hearts — well what about opening wallets? If he really cared about preventing violence against women he\u2019d restore Our Watch\u2019s The Line campaign and invest in respectful relationships education in all schools.
\n\u201cIf he wanted to actually provide women with the frontline domestic and family violence services they need he\u2019d stump up the $1 billion dollars a year that the sector is calling for, address the housing crisis, and raise JobSeeker to provide income security for women.
\n\u201cIf he really wanted to talk about respect, his government would not have voted against implementing key Respect at Work recommendations just last week.\u201d
\n\u201cAnd if he was genuinely interested in hearing from people affected by violence, he would have invited survivors to the Summit, he would include National Family Violence Prevention Legal Service in the National Plan advisory group, and he would support a separate First Nations plan that aligns with the Closing the Gap goals.
\n\u201cAn evidence-based, properly funded, comprehensive National Plan is crucial to stopping violence against women. But it\u2019s clear from today that the Morrison Government just wants a showpiece summit and a National Plan for Trying to Win Back Women Voters.
\n\u201cOnce again, they underestimate our intelligence.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
