You didn't answer the question; maybe you could answer this one. Statistics show that, while a woman dies every six days due to domestic homicide in Australia, a man dies every eight days due to domestic homicide, with the main perpetrators being women. This week's budget includes an additional $326.7 million for women's safety but none for men. Why is the Albanese Labor government not providing support and funding to adult male victims of domestic and family violence, when men make up 25 per cent of all domestic violence victims?
