Is that official statistics? Many men don't report violence against them. In fact, women perpetrate domestic violence against their partners at a higher rate than men.

It's worth it to point out that lesbian couples experience DV at a higher incidence than heterosexual ones. And do you know why?

Yeah thank goodness.

Pretty disgusting line of trolling you've decided to take, Nitshe.

Yeah thank goodness.

Yeah, those are official statistics and violence against men is definitely less reported in Australia.

I think the issue in WA is greatest in the indigenous community, so there is also another complicating factor.

It's not an easy issue all around.


If I was joking, I'd say becase WA is a redneck State and lesbians aren't allowed, which makes them angry; but I hope MrEd doesn't read that (just a very poor taste joke in any case).

It's a really difficult issue and the website could be improved, even if the government's approach isn't actually wrong, because there are services for males, but they are often provided through the charity services.

In any case, we are so far off topic, I'm suspect we might receive a visit from the ISD.

Separate your issue = Custody for single fathers (which I support and live), with what was discussed about domestic violence.

Actually the issues are very closely related which is why I chose to link the #21fathers page to highlight how wrong your statement about resource priorities was.

Gender bias pervades every part of our family law and domestic violence plays a big role in that. For example some stats recently tabled before parliament showed that a staggering 84% of domestic violence claims by women in Queensland's family courts were found to be without merit. Because of our society and legal system's bias against men DV is often able to be used in family law as an "I win" button by women. All part of where those #21fathers come from, Mr Nitshe.

In any event DV is a real problem that effects all family members and adults of either gender. Including an enormous amount of male victims. #endallDV.

We should get back to CODE.

We have such a long way to go.

My reference was to the current domestic violence campaign, not your issue.

Please feel free to PM me on your issue of custody, I used your resources and simular networks in Qld to win custody of my son.
