Summary
29 women have been killed in Australia so far this year - most allegedly by their intimate partner. Their names sometimes hit the headlines, but often not. And even then, the outrage seldom lasts. We’ve known for a long time that Australia has a problem with violence against women. Little seems to work to change the statistics. For some advocates - a Royal Commission is the only chance at making a difference. A petition calling for that - now sits at more than 110-thousand signatures. Today, writer and advocate Jess Hill on whether it will ever happen, and what it could achieve, if it did.
