Here's the QLD government site about seeking help for domestic violence:

Domestic Violence

There are links For men - which, except for one small sentence are exclusively about how to stop yourself being an abuser. All examples and testimonials are about male on female violence.

There are links For women which exclusively represent women as victims.

There are many more insulting double standards on the site, but that is a good place to start Annastacia.

Importantly Mensline Queensland offers specialist assistance for men who are seeking help and looking for ways to address their own use of violence and other destructive patterns in their personal lives and relationships, as well as those who may be (or have been) victims of violence themselves.

I could swear it was a lot more negative before. I remember the help line people posted that was 100% negative about men. At least some progress.

Yes, an interview unintentionally exposed the seemingly criminal bigotry of the mensline against male victims, which acted has a honey pot. I don't think this tiger's changed its stripes yet.

Great find. Of course she belongs to a different political party to the PM, so her influence may be limited, but it is a start. It shows that men telling their stories is compelling.

The point is that men who have been affected by domestic violence need to speak out and speak up.

[–]wisty 3 points4 points5 points 10 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link

The PM has no jurisdiction over DV, it's the premiers (roughly equivalent to governors, in US terms) who run law enforcement, shelters, health, etc.

The PM shouldn't have any real right to release a DV package, but he did it anyway because the federal government collects most of the taxes, so they like to get the credit for spending it (and the states can either accept it, or fight it and risk losing the money).

The federal government only really has jurisdiction over marriage / divorce, not criminal law. Virtually all criminal law is the state's responsibility, so is public health, mental health, etc. Nasty tweets are probably federal (communications), but they aren't the focus of any serious programs.

But is she outside of the political party that the stupid opposition party member was in who went and called the prime minister a misognyist?

That's the question, otherwise it's just crowd pandering, I don't know enough about Australina politics though.

[–]BodyMassageMachineGo 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago* (2 children) | Copy Link

Are you referring to this speech by Julia Gillard?

Because both her and Palaszczuk are members of the Labor Party.

For context the person the speech was directed at, Tony Abbott, and her had quite a history in parliament. At the time Gillard was the Prime Minister, and Abbott the leader of the opposition.

Some choice quotes by Abbott, who appointed himself minister for women:

  • ‘The problem with the Australian practice of abortion is that an objectively grave matter has been reduced to a question of the mother’s convenience.’

  • ‘I think it would be folly to expect that women will ever dominate or even approach equal representation in a large number of areas simply because their aptitudes, abilities and interests are different for physiological reasons’

  • ‘I think there does need to be give and take on both sides, and this idea that sex is kind of a woman’s right to absolutely withhold, just as the idea that sex is a man’s right to demand I think they are both they both need to be moderated, so to speak’

  • ‘What the housewives of Australia need to understand as they do the ironing is that if they get it done commercially it’s going to go up in price and their own power bills when they switch the iron on are going to go up, every year…’

I'd personally categorise him as a very conservative sexist, but not a misogynist per se.

[–]Lethn 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Oh don't get me wrong, he probably is a sexist prick, but that's exactly why I was asking, this is why you can't really trust mainstream politicans to support stuff like this. If they're both with the same party then they're just making a play for more votes by making it look like they have differences of opinion and so on.

You shouldn't support an opposition party just because the current party happens to be filled with assholes.

[–]BodyMassageMachineGo 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

It's definitely a reason to not trust their motivation, but that's just the state of politics. No one stands for anything anymore, good or bad they are all just populists.

But if this means there is some actual equality brought to the discussion, I'm for it.

[–]actingverystrangely 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Great comment. Gillard was (and is) a radical feminist. So her primary motivation is to advance women's access to resources. I'm not sure about the QLD Premier.

I suspect she is old fashioned Labor, but if that is true then she is a rare person indeed.

[–]vhisic 2 points3 points4 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Good on her. There was never any need to tack "against women" onto these things, now if we could take it off everything else we could move closer to true equality.
