Responding to the major parties lack of attention on the FDSV crisis during the election campaign Larissa Waters, Greens Leader in the Senate and Women's spokesperson said:
"It is outrageous that neither major party has highlighted family, domestic or sexual violence during the federal election campaign, despite more than one woman every week in Australia being killed by men's violence.
"This election campaign, it's been crickets on women's safety, bar the Greens pledge.
"In November last year, the Greens announced our $15 billion costed election policy package to address the national FDSV crisis, hoping the major parties would again copy our homework.
"But it's the Greens alone offering measures such as full funding for frontline services with $12 billion over 12 years, doubling the Escaping Violence Payment, and establishing a national real-time toll of women killed by violence, to name a few.
"We heard big talk from Mr Albanese who declared violence against women a national crisis less than a year ago, and Mr Dutton around the same time who called for a royal commission.
"Prior to the campaign we saw Labor give piecemeal announcements and their budget flopped on FDSV without new significant funding or announcements.
"Meanwhile, the Liberal's idea of supporting women was walking back their own attack on flexible work arrangements.
"How dare they abandon women like this? If we made the 1 in 3 big corporations that pay no tax contribute their fair share we could fully fund frontline services and prevention efforts.
"The Greens' plan prioritises survivor-centred policies, we won't stop working until women and children are safe.
