Is Labor tackling gendered violence?
Jan 30, 2026•26 min
Episode description
In 2022, the Albanese Government joined its state and territory counterparts to commit to ending violence against women and children in a generation.
But while Labor says they've made ending violence a key priority, with more than $4 billion for women's safety initiatives, where are things four years on?
And with a wraparound approach needed to counter the issue, is a national watchdog urgently needed to ensure recommendations are actually implemented?
Claudia Long joins Patricia Karvelas for this special edition of Politics Now.
