PM flags tougher treatment of men who harm women

Anthony Albanese has flagged tougher treatment of men who act violently against women, pointing to possible bail law reform moves and action on misogynistic content online, ahead of emergency talks with premiers this week.

Amid a growing backlash against violence and mistreatment of women in Australia, the prime minister said Wednesday’s snap meeting of national cabinet was recognition that a society-wide response was needed.
