The ABC contacted every male MP in the House of Representatives to ask what is being done in their electorates about a family violence crisis that has seen more than 50 women killed this year.

We asked them:

  • Do you believe the government you currently serve is doing enough to combat domestic violence? (For government MPs)

  • What would you like to see the Albanese government do about this issue? (For opposition MPs)

  • What active steps have you taken in your communities to help address women dying at the hands of their partners?

  • What kind of cultural change do you think would help make a difference in your communities?

Just 20 out of the 92 MPs responded by the original publication time and only ten had answered the questions asked.

Once followed up, 25 responded and 21 answered questions.
