1/ Sexual assault/harassment is a serious issue that needs to be dealt with dispassionately. The issues need to be identified, solutions formulated & a process put in place to achieve those ends.
Change won’t come from a politically weaponised national ‘listening’ tour. #auspol
2/ The fact is, sexual assault is already illegal. There is no magic wand the PM can wave which will stop it occurring in the community. And while the majority of victims are women, the majority of men are not offenders - almost all men find this behaviour abhorrent.
3/ And we are all responsible for this issue. Kids must learn good values from good role models - and that there the consequences for behaving badly. Increasingly, we live in a world of diminished personal responsibility - that will only aggravate problems like sexual assault.
