Sign the card: Thanks for committing half a billion to tackle family violence

Last month the Victorian Government have announced an incredible $572 million of funding to address family violence in the state.

This investment is an historic act of leadership from Premier Daniel Andrews and his Government, and an important big step towards implementing the full recommendations of the recent Royal Commission.

It's all too rare that we see this kind of leadership, and on such an important issue. That's why it's critical we show this investment is supported by voters -- especially in an election year.

Can you sign your thanks to Premier Andrews and his government for their leadership on this issue? Fair Agenda members will deliver your messages of thanks to Parliament on Wednesday 8th June.

"I would like to thank you from all the Women , Children and Men who have been and still are affected by Domestic Violence in our society. We can change our cultural attitudes to this issue like we did with smoking over a number of years ago. We can be world leaders in changing the negative norms of our society as we have done witth smoking. I hope the federal and other state governments are able to follow your leadership in this area and help create new laws, new supports and an intolerance of violence within families and in our communities."
