Criminologist Michael Salter calls on Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to tackle Australia's issues with alcohol, gambling, and children's exposure to pornography as a strategy to reduce violence against women.

The national cabinet's urgent meeting will address prevention strategies for violence, including online harms and tracking high-risk perpetrators.

A dispute between Albanese and an advocate raises concerns about the government's ability to effectively address these issues.

Experts, including the Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence Commissioner, advocate for stronger commitment from leaders to prevent violent deaths of women through practical policy changes.

Despite a $2.3 billion investment by the government in a 10-year plan, there is a consensus that additional funding is needed for both prevention programs and crisis services.

Advocates call for a continuous, escalated response to violence against women that goes beyond temporary public outrage, seeking substantive action and lasting change.

The article implicates a lack of visibility from Opposition Leader Peter Dutton on the issue, suggesting a need for bipartisan support for effective solutions.
