The latest annual statistics indicate that Australia’s commitment to ending domestic and family violence within a generation is way off target.

Dylan Bird is joined by investigate journalist and author Jess Hill to unpack what's explored in her latest Quarterly Essay Losing It: Can we stop violence against women and children?, why Australia's initial National Plan didn’t succeed in reducing family violence, the links between gambling and violence against women, and how online access to content from the manosphere and violent porn are driving gendered violence.

'What I’d say to the government and governments all around Australia … is that the evidence is now in front of you. You have to decide whether you are serious about ending violence against women and children, and if you are, you need to grapple with why that hasn’t worked over the past 15 years.'
