After years of the Greens and many organisations calling for a national toll of women killed by violence to be collated and publicised by government rather than simply relying on volunteer orgs to do that work, over the weekend the government announced what seems to be a version of that—a dashboard for official reporting on intimate partner homicide, which will provide quarterly updates from mid next year. How much funding has been allocated to this? Why is it only reporting quarterly? Why the seven-month delay until it starts? How will the figures be publicised to help drive change?
