13.01.2022 Dame Margaret Guilfoyle AC DBE was a trailblazer of Australian politics.

It was an honour to meet her over the years and to hear her perspectives on politics. I am profoundly grateful for the legacy she leaves behind and convey my deep sympathy to her family.

06.01.2022 Today, I joined the Prime Minister Scott Morrison (ScoMo) at Our Watch’s virtual #IDEVAW event with the Parliamentary Friendship Group, marking International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Australia joins our partners around the world to support UN Women’s commitment to stop all forms of violence against women and girls. Addressing gender-based violence is a pillar of Australia’s COVID-19 response #PartnershipsForRecovery. Gender equality and the empowerme...nt of women and girls is one of our core development priorities. Domestic and family violence have increased during the pandemic, for both Australia and our neighbours in the Indo-pacific. We are working hard against this trend, mindful that our region has some of the highest rates of intimate partner violence in the world. I was honoured to participate in another virtual event today as Fiji launched consultations for the development of its own National Action Plan to Prevent Violence Against Women and Girls. I commend Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama and Minister Vuniwaqa for bringing this complex and difficult subject into the open. Now, more than ever, coming together to end violence against women and girls is key to creating a more gender-equal and inclusive world.
