That's why we have to pick up on those little clues – and call them out. This advertisement will be on your screens from tonight. Family violence is our number one law and order issue. Its solutions are complex – but almost all of them start with one simple thing: respect.

The ad implies that because the bloke speaks like an arsehole, he's violent behind closed doors. Must be a vast amount of violence in that case, based on how many arseholes there are. Women included.

Is there a similar ad for domestic abuse against men?
-
Do you need to talk mate? Everything OK?
-
No I’m good
thank you though! It just seems to always be only men who cause abuse being pushed in these campaigns when the stats show that both women and men are perpetrators of domestic violence. S’pose in the nature of equality, we should be showing both sides of the story. -
I'm sure there are some statistics you can bring to this argument. Would you like to put them up?
-
http://www.mankind.org.uk/statistics/ here is a bunch of stuff. Just to be clear, I’m not adding to an argument. I only asked a question.
-
We’ll talk about domestic violence against men just as soon as we prevent thousands of women being injured or killed by their loved ones. Cool with that? Great.
-
And so when do we talk about domestic violence against men? How do you measure that? I agree that everyone is terrible to everyone, but these things affect everyone and should be visible from everyone’s point of view.

So good that this ad gives actual examples of what abuse ‘sounds’ like! Very powerful! Thanks Victorian Govt!
-
It makes men out to be only gender that commits violence. Marxist propaganda by a corrupt premier
-
Not true. So far this year 15, that's FIFTEEN, women have been killed by their partner or ex partner. Nothing to do with Marxism but everything to do with power.
-
We know that women are killed by their men. Andrews has no compassion for family violence in which kids suffer whether it committed by a male or female. He is a Marxist to the core and a corrupt pollie, like the rest of them
-
Oh so you know women are killed by their partner and the best you can come up with is the usual waffle about Marxism. I'm sure the women who died weren't concerned with Marxism as they died.
-
Having grown up and a surviour of abuse in the home, committed by a female btw. There needs to be more education and programs other than men being perpetrated as the only ones that are violent

It's about time men got on board, considering men are the main perpetrators of violence and abuse towards women and children! Excellent. Call it out!pic.twitter.com/nkHzR3JI4q

Quite a few men have been 'on board' for a long time. There should be more, I agree.
