Is it time for a royal commission into violence against women?
So far this year 29 women have been killed in Australia – most allegedly by their intimate partner.
Their names sometimes hit the headlines, but often not. And even then, the outrage seldom lasts.
We’ve known for a long time that Australia has a problem with violence against women. Little seems to work to change the statistics.
For some advocates, a royal commission is the only chance to make a difference. A petition calling for just that has more than 110,000 signatures.
Today, writer and advocate Jess Hill discusses whether it will ever happen – and what it could achieve if it did.
