In reply to <a href="https://clubtroppo.com.au/2024/04/29/domestic-violence-in-australia-some-things-the-statistics-say-and-the-media-should-report/#comment-718667">David Walker</a>. The 2022-2023 data on the rate of the female intimate partner homicide is 28% higher than the rate for 2021-2022. However, one still cannot conclude from that 28% rise whether or not there is a national crisis in the DV against women! The Commonwealth Government has an ambitious plan to reduce the female IPH by 25% over the next few years. If we compare their target against the recent 28% rise we can conclude tthat the Government won't meet its target (and is about 200% away from the desired target) Based on that analysis, we can conclude that there is a significant problem but it still doesn't tell you whither there is a national crisis in DV against women. I am happy to expand on this further given that I analysed the data several days ago. I will provide the links to several Government documents: 1. https://www.dss.gov.au/ending-violence 2. https://www.aic.gov.au/media-centre/news/australia-sees-rise-female-intimate-partner-homicide-new-research-report
