Here's why the last thing I want is royal commission into violence against women

The very last thing this country needs is a royal commission into violence against women. The absolute last thing. According to one researcher, royal commissions routinely cost somewhere between $300 million and $600 million.

I can tell you clearly where that money should be spent. It should be spent on funding what we already know works to stem violence against women. We know what the problems are. We need to fund the answers.
