At the end of his tether: Australia's Family Court Chief Justice Will Alstergren
Listen now
Description
This week's guest granted Luke Darcy a rare interview out of near despair over what is missing in the fight to end the increasing levels of violence against women. The Honourable Will Alstergren is the Chief Justice of the Family Court of Australia and the Federal Circuit Court, appointments that place him at the coalface of family and gender based violence in Australia. The statistics on violence against women in Australia are nothing short of disgraceful. - 13 women a day are hospitalised each day because of the injuries they receive from violent men. - A woman is killed every nine days by a current or former partner. 49 have been murdered to date in 2024. - One in three women have experienced violence since the age of 25. - Young women aged between 18 to 24 at twice as likely as the general population to experience sexual harassment.
