Pauline Hanson sparked controversy by framing domestic violence as a “two-way street,” suggesting women can also provoke abuse through their own behavior. She blamed societal stressors like cost of living and job insecurity for rising tensions, urging better communication and advising women in abusive relationships to leave — a message she says she’s lived through herself. But experts caution that leaving abuse is often impossible due to fear, financial dependence, or retaliation. Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics confirms the overwhelming majority of domestic violence perpetrators are men — 78% in 2024–25, averaging 35 years old — underscoring the urgency for systemic support, not just platitudes.
