“This election campaign, it’s been crickets on women’s safety, bar the Greens pledge. "In November last year, the Greens announced our $15 billion costed election policy package to address the national FDSV crisis, hoping the major parties would again copy our homework. "But it's the Greens alone offering measures such as full funding for frontline services with $12 billion over 12 years, doubling the Escaping Violence Payment, and establishing a national real-time toll of women killed by violence, to name a few.
"We heard big talk from Mr Albanese who declared violence against women a national crisis less than a year ago, and Mr Dutton around the same time who called for a royal commission. "Prior to the campaign we saw Labor give piecemeal announcements and their budget flopped on FDSV without new significant funding or announcements. “Meanwhile, the Liberal's idea of supporting women was walking back their own attack on flexible work arrangements.
"How dare they abandon women like this? If we made the 1 in 3 big corporations that pay no tax contribute their fair share we could fully fund frontline services and prevention efforts. "The Greens’ plan prioritises survivor-centred policies, we won’t stop working until women and children are safe.” Facebook for the Australian Greens YouTube for the Australian Greens X for the Australian Greens Instagram for the Australian Greens Bluesky for the Australian Greens Privacy Members website Your safety Contact us Our plan Tax the 1% Tackle the cost of living Healthcare for all Fix the housing crisis Strong climate action In your language 2025 policy platform Policy principles & aims Our team Federal MPs State/territory MPs Officeholders Federal portfolios Federal media releases Take action Volunteer Donate Issues & campaigns Upcoming events Greens Shop Leave a bequest Green Magazine All news Our movement About the Greens Become a member Jobs Members website State/territory parties Contact us The Greens acknowledge the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture.
