As the Prime Minister again reiterated this morning, not all disrespect of women ends up in domestic violence, but all domestic violence begins with disrespect. It is unacceptable that three in 10 Australian women will experience physical violence; one in five sexual violence; and approximately one in four will experience violence from an intimate partner in their life. The Turnbull government is leading the cultural change to take domestic violence out of the shadows. Senators will be aware that last year, along with the states and territories, we launched a $30 million national campaign to change young people's attitudes to women and violence. The 'Stop It At The Start' campaign has run at various points in 2016 and 2017, and I'm pleased to advise that there have been more than 42 million online views of the TV ad. Again, it is crucial that all Australians work towards stopping domestic violence.
