DV in the spotlight

PM Anthony Albanese is facing pressure on a couple of fronts today – with growing calls for today’s National Cabinet to take strong action to stem domestic violence. State and territory leaders will be joining the meeting virtually after a wave of community outrage after the Bondi stabbings and the murder of Molly Ticehurst. Some of the big items on today’s agenda include electronic monitoring of offenders and a national registry of DV perpetrators. The PM says he’s “committed to making progress” and also wants to crack down on violent and misogynistic online content. Meanwhile, Albanese’s also grappling with another community safety issue – Coalition leader Peter Dutton wants answers after a released immigration detainee allegedly bashed a Perth grandmother. Dutton says Immigration Minister Andrew Giles must resign after failing to explain why Kuwaiti-born Majid Jamshidi Doukoshkan was out on bail after a previous offence.
