“The vast majority of reported sexual assault and sexual harassment is perpetrated by men. Men who may be our dads, brothers, sons, mates, colleagues, and yes, even ourselves.

Listening and acknowledging "will not be an easy thing to do. It will be confronting, it will make us feel defensive, even angry.

“We must help our sons, brothers, mates, and colleagues to do better. We must hold ourselves, and each other, to a higher standard. Call out bad behaviour and refuse to tolerate disrespect and violence. And we must centre our response with the women on the receiving end" 4/5
"Change starts here and now. This is our moment to stand up and stand beside the women of Australia.
By making Australia a safe, inclusive place where women can thrive, our nation will be a better place for ALL of us. Thank you.”
Imagine if *this* was what our PM said.
