Australia: PM's scathing attack on men who commit domestic violence
Story here. Excerpt:
'Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has called on all Australians to make a "cultural shift" and stop disrespecting women, declaring that gender inequality lies at the heart of domestic violence.
In comments that have been labelled a "gamechanger" for the fight against domestic violence, Mr Turnbull called on parents, teachers and employers to get on board the culture change, saying he wanted Australia to become known as a country that respects women.
"I'd say that as parents, one of the most important things we must do is ensure that our sons respect their mothers and their sisters," Mr Turnbull told reporters in Melbourne on Thursday.
...
"Violence against women is one of the great shames of Australia. It is a national disgrace," Mr Turnbull said.
He also said it should be "unAustralian" to disrespect women.'
