## Resource

Senator Pauline Hanson sparked outrage on the podcast Broken Fathers with fiery remarks dismissing paid domestic violence leave as “ridiculous” and a “holiday,” while arguing that police resources are being diverted from “real crime.” She claimed the family law system is “broken,” favoring women and suppressing men, and defended her controversial view that domestic violence can be a “two-way street.” Hanson accused the media and Labor of misrepresenting her, insisting women’s rights progress demands accountability for women too. She also criticized police fatigue with domestic violence calls and called for rolling back family law reforms, blaming “woke” parliamentarians. Her comments drew swift condemnation, with the Sex Discrimination Commissioner labeling them “harmful, wrong, and dangerous,” stressing that violence is always the perpetrator’s choice.
