Michaelia Cash Show Leadership Today At COAG And Stand Up For Domestic Violence Leave!

Today’s Council of Australian Governments (COAG) meeting will discuss paid family and domestic violence leave, presenting Minister for both Employment and Women Michaelia Cash with the perfect opportunity to demonstrate leadership on this important issue.

Australian Unions believe employers have a critical role to play in helping women and men who are experiencing family and domestic violence stay safe and stay employed, and are undertaking 16 days of activism and workplace activities across the country in support of paid leave.

ACTU Secretary Dave Oliver said “Family and domestic violence is a scourge on society that can no longer be kept behind closed doors.”

“This is the perfect opportunity for Michaelia Cash to show some leadership and make one of the most important social and industrial social interventions of recent times – one that will change cultural attitudes, prevent violence, and save lives.”
