When asked on the campaign trail what he offers “modern working women,” Peter Dutton immediately turned to his housing policy because “homeless women are at a record level under this government.” He said he was “offering women the opportunity to own a home”. Pressed further on what he’s offering in female-dominated sectors, he turned to general comments about bringing inflation and interest rates down.

For one hour on Wednesday afternoon, the national crisis of violence against women received more attention from politicians than it has during the entire election campaign. It came as three women were killed by violence in the 48 hours prior. And it came as the issue of violence against women and domestic and family violence did not arise during the first leaders’ debate between Prime Mininster Anthony Albanese and Opposition Leader Peter Dutton on Sky News last week.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Opposition leader Peter Dutton debated each other at a Sky News leaders forum last night in front of 100 undecided voters. The issues of domestic and family violence, as well as violence against women, didn’t get a mention. That’s despite Albanese declaring violence against women a “national crisis” less than a year ago, and Dutton suggesting a royal commission was needed to determine the solutions ahead. Is it that women are no longer getting murdered? Sadly, no.
