The Prime Minister has shown that he doesnât have any serious intentions of changing the culture of discrimination, sexual assault and harassment against women (âPMâs tin ear on display as crowd vents angerâ, March 16). If he did, he would have accepted the invitation to attend the March 4 Justice rally. He could have listened to the voices of the women and, having heard their stories, responded with an undertaking to bring forward reform, showing a determination to change the current toxic climate. Instead, he tells us how lucky we are to live in a country where you are not going to get shot for attending a protest. Really? Such a complete lack of understanding and empathy fills me with despair. We need to keep pressure on the government to act and change the culture, not settle behind a wall of weasel words. Enough is enough. -
