Just sharing some thoughts with those shaming and abusing Sarah Williams,

Josh Butler Specific to the $5000. To be clear - its not new. You cant claim it if you are escaping family violence. It literally takes weeks & weeks for women who apply themselves to get the support. It makes NO difference to perpetrator violence. We apply every other day for it already.

Surely you'd be more concerned if students weren't protesting the Palestinian genocide. Students have always marched and taken non-violent action in the name of peace and equality.

Half an hour of daily exercise clearly improves and extends lives. It’s difficult to prove that intensive training is much more beneficial.

I’m genuinely curious why 15,000 people follow Jay Jay.

If you think Jay Jay’s behaviour is acceptable because they’re on the “right side”, please unfollow me. I’m not going to be the follow police but I have no interest in knowing you if you don’t see this for what it is.

The eligibility issues for the EVP were outlined in this review of the program last May - government knows how impossible it is for a lot of people to get support here (ofc, that's the whole point) dss.gov.au/sites/default/…

NEW data on the Escaping Violence Payment has just been released by the government.

Over half the applicants are having their claims rejected.

This is means-testing at it's absolute worst: jeopardising the lives of people experiencing intimate partner violence

Amber the payment already exists but has so many hoops and requirements that over half of applicants are rejected. a big chunk of the payment is also locked up in vouchers and indirect payments

Not enough! WCS CEO Annabelle Daniel OAM appeared on The Project last night saying that it is not enough to tell men to step up. We need to back this up with programs on the ground. We need concrete interventions.

Due to Tennessee’s abortion ban, Mayron Hollis was forced to continue a pregnancy that threatened her life. An emergency delivery left her without a uterus and her baby with medical issues. This is their first year in a post-Roe state. propub.li/4a0cHlB

Amber It’s already in place - this is not a new initiative. All they’ve done is say they’ll continue to fund it. So nothing really has come out of this cabinet meeting ☹️ Looks like they didn’t listen at all to any of the requests from the weekend.

After weeks of talking about domestic and sexual violence, vileness of men who are apparently on the left side of politics is stunning. Violence against women you don’t like (& teenage schoolboy reporters) is STILL violence against women (& teenage schoolboy reporters)

The leaving violence payment is good, I just wonder how it will be administered and what paperwork will be needed, as vulnerable women experiencing violence may find it hard to jump through bureaucratic hoops
