Does Australia have an inherent problem with domestic violence? Politicians and activists say yes. After a string of isolated domestic violence incidents, sections of the media are up in arms about the state of our moral decay as Albo scrambles to appease their every demand. Yet, one thing is undeniable, it’s becoming tiresome.
What happened? A woman was stabbed to death in Western Sydney and in north Melbourne, a woman’s body was found in the dumpster.
Albo jumped on the bandwagon. In a statement, he wrote:
“Yet, as the tragic events of recent days have reminded us, we have a long way to go,” he said in a statement.
“Again, we have seen lives stolen and futures torn away. Every death is its own universe of devastation.
“Communities are hurt, and the families and loved ones left behind carry the sorrow with them for the rest of their days.”
Let’s get one thing right. Australia, as a whole, does not have an issue with domestic violence, some in the Australian community do.
It’s not the first time Albo has jumped the gun in an attempt to garner sympathetic favour from the Australian public. At the ‘no more’ rally against gender based violence in Canberra, Albo declared domestic violence was a ‘national emergency’.
Sorry, Albo, it isn’t.
If we are going to raise awareness of a systemic situation in which domestic violence is rampant, let’s examine the country of Pakistan. According to 2019 statistics, 85% of women in Pakistan had experienced some kind of domestic violence. The majority of women in Australia are not subject to a culture of domestic violence, and by making sweeping generalizations about Australians’ moral decay, we have pitted men as the all powerful abusers against women. Men are the enemy now, not domestic violence.
I am not denying that domestic violence is not real, nor am I denying that it is not a problem. However, I do have a problem when our prime minister politicizes isolated cases and makes grandiose claims about the moral status of Australian society. The majority of men and Australians enjoy healthy and respectful relationships with women.
Yet we have a political class and bureaucracy set on funding and developing policies bent towards a victimization of women.
Men and women have cooperated for the majority of human history, but we have been to believe that the majority of men are problematic actors. To make things worse, Albo is more than happy to form policy based on radical feminism and its radical demands that are soured with an undeniable undercurrent of distaste and hatred towards men. It is one thing to demand a stop to domestic violence, but even the protesters themselves are unable to distinguish gender from culpability. Even at the national rally in Canberra, Albo was met with palpable hostility.
Sadly for Albo, he is learning the hard way. The more he attempts to appease the cult of feminism, the more he is chastised. But being the masochistic individual that he is, Albo keeps coming back for more.
