Australia declares billion-dollar war on 'toxic masculinity', twisted AI porn and domestic violence after horrific spike of alleged murders
Article here. Excerpt:
'Anthony Albanese will ban 'deepfake' and artificial intelligence pornography as part of a $925million bid to combat the shocking rise in violence against women.
The Prime Minister convened a National Cabinet meeting on Wednesday following a surge in women being allegedly killed by men known to them since the start of 2024.
Speaking immediately after the meeting with the nation's state and territory leaders, Mr Albanese announced a suite of new measures to reduce violence, which he described as a 'scourge' on society.
Mr Albanese noted community concerns about 'toxic male views online' and 'young men's exposure to violent imagery' on the internet.
Ms Rishworth added that violence against women will only end with generational change, and that young boys need 'positive role models' to 'counter negative stereotypes'.
Mr Albanese, along with Ms Rishworth, announced a leaving violence program, which will receive $925million in funding in the May Budget.
Eligible women will be able to access up to $5,000 in financial support to leave abusive relationships.'
