Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced new funding to help women escape domestic violence and a crackdown on misogynistic online content in reaction to an uptick in homicides committed by current and former male partners that he described as a national crisis.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese speaks during a virtual National Cabinet meeting to discuss the national crisis of gender-based violence, Wednesday, May 1, 2024. Albanese announced new funding to help women escape domestic violence and a crackdown on misogynistic online content in reaction to an uptick in homicides perpetrated by current and former male partners that he described as a national crisis.
The measures would include legislation to ban deepfake pornography and more funding for an Australian regulator to pilot age-assurance technologies to protect children from harmful online content. “I’ll be satisfied when we eliminate this as an issue, when we’re not talking about this as an issue, when women are not feeling as though they have to mobilize in rallies,” he added.
