Immediately following the final part of Sarah Ferguson’s documentary series Hitting Home, Julia Baird will host a special edition of Q&A on domestic violence.
How does domestic violence begin? How does it escalate from control to physical violence and even death? And what can be done to prevent it?
Prime Minister Turnbull says real men don’t hit women and has pledged $100 million to domestic violence services. But which services will be funded? Are we getting our priorities right in tackling this national crisis?
On the panel to discuss the issues and questions raised by the series:
- Minister for Social Services, Christian Porter
- NT Labor Senator, Nova Peris
- NSW Assistant Police Commissioner, Mick Fuller
- Professor of Social Work at University of Melbourne, Cathy Humphreys
- Head of Domestic Violence NSW, Moo Baulch
