Action is the only option

Twenty-four. That's how many women have been killed at the hands of a man in Australia in the first four months of 2025, as at April 25.

Three of them were killed in a single day in three different locations, by three different people, according to Australian Femicide Watch.

The case that's garnered the most attention is that of Audrey Griffin, who had her life cut short at just 19 years old. This occurred on the New South Wales Central Coast and, as someone who has lived on the Central Coast almost their entire life, I can tell you firsthand how this has rightfully shaken and enraged the community.

Naturally, the timing of all this made women's safety and the proliferation of violence against women an election issue. Politicians have been falling over themselves to appear as though they will actually do something about it.
