@@arkhamkillzone The problem with the way these departments are set up is that there are no contrarians within the department fighting back against the narrative.

It's a serious problem, and it should be painfully obvious to anyone that this kind of setup is corrupt from the beginning. We have the same problem in science of researchers trying desperately to confirm their hypothesis so they can receive funding, so they fudge findings and manipulate data to show they were correct. At least the peer review system exists within the scientific world, but it really doesn't exist within government; at least, not in a way that is as effective. These hearings are the best pieces of peer review we have.

Best of all, he questioned the ludicrousness of their statement and tore it to ribbons. Well done sir!

The question is bloody obvious to anyone who is not totally incompetent and extremely arrogant. Just because it was phrased as a statement, does not justify avoiding the question based on semantics. Just imagine in your work in private enterprise, if you got 30 million dollars for a project. Then it was pointed out to you that you had failed to provide any citations or empirical evidence to support the basis of your project, that you had failed to focus on the most important aspects of the issue and that you had failed to produce any results for that 30 million dollars. Would your response be: "Is there a question?" How long do you think you would have a job in say marketing or if that was your response? And that is just imaging you were in private enterprise. These people are supposed to be doing something about a very serious problem in our society where people's lives are at risk. Instead they are wasting taxpayers money pushing their own debunked agenda. The response simply illustrates that all the power lies with feminism and feminists like these. They are the ruling ideology and they know it. Which is why they can be so arrogant to a Senator and to taxpayers. It illustrates that there is a power imbalance all right.

Yes, you are absolutely right. My father was the nicest guy around until he drank whiskey, then he'd literally beat my mother to the point where she couldn't move. This was in the early 1970's. Using domestic violence as a means to address "gender inequality" to get better pay is just disrespectful to those women who are in this situation. Side note: My (4) brothers have never once been violent with a woman, though 2 of them have had their wives be violent with them. And I have never tolerated a violent man.
Great work. Please talk to Karen Straughan of The Honey Badgers (RUclips/Reddit personality) - she is the most well informed person on DV in the world. Also check out "REFERENCES EXAMINING ASSAULTS BY WOMEN ON THEIR SPOUSES OR MALE PARTNERS: AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY" - it can be found on Google. "This bibliography examines 286 scholarly investigations: 221 empirical studies and 65 reviews and/or analyses, which demonstrate that women are as physically aggressive, or more aggressive, than men in their relationships with their spouses or male partners. The aggregate sample size in the reviewed studies exceeds 371,600. " 55% of DV victims are male - how the hell can it be caused by gender inequality?!
No. They do things. They have planning days. They have meetings. They formulate strategies. They write reports. They make recommendations. They review, review, review. Oh, and they do pretty looking risk assessments.
In other words $30,000.000.00 thats thirty million dollars has been spent on a program without result in the reduction of domestic violence and we still haven't worked out that it just may be the result of financial stress, an inability to articulate and understand feelings and emotions (on both sides), drug and alcohol abuse (on both sides) lack of a social behavioural framework and the list goes on which makes it all too hard so we will blame it on the wage gap and gender inequality. that should be ambiguous enough so that no-one questions it. well don, well done, pat yourselves on the back.
women's group - "Can we have 30 million quid to stop Muslims and Abo's from smacking their wives please?" government - "How are you going to do that?" women's group - "We're going to teach white boys that they are bad and that it's wrong to hit women."
1:40 So what this woman is saying is that men who indicate positive views (or less negative views) towards beating up women... are more likely to beat up women. Wow, I'm so glad the Australian Govt spent millions of dollars to find that out. I don't doubt for a second that in OTHER countries, or among some immigrant groups, women having little in the way of financial resources plays a role in DV (them being unable to leave due to not having the financial resources to leave, or fearing that their children will grow up in poverty without the financial support of an abusive man), but I think arguing that a woman earning 80k is more likely to get beat up because her male peers are earning more (due to working more overtime etc) is going to play that big a difference in DV outcomes compared to if she earned 80k but her male peers earned less. So it would be more fair to say... which most reasonable people would agree with, that POVERTY is a major factor in DV... but they'd never say that because they want to push a narrative (about how important all this nonsense about the supposed "Pay Gap" is) and use this to justify the Australian Govt spending millions on their pet projects. 5:15 So you agree or disagree with their claim? Also since you link to their site and encourage people to "get educated" by reading it, 1. You do have some duty to make sure the claims by that site are factually accurate, and 2. If you believe that people who read that site will walk away more uninformed than they were to begin with, you have a responsibility NOT to link to it. 7:22 What are this woman's qualifications? Because if she has any kind of degree, someone should've explained to her that "Correlation does not establish causation". Besides, I don't think many people would argue that societies that view women with contempt are more likely to condone violence towards them, though I question the sincerity of feminists to tackle this issue until they go after the big one (Islam).
+1000 " If you believe that people who read that site will walk away more uninformed than they were to begin with, you have a responsibility NOT to link to it." Exactly. They seem to think that by talking, they are answering the question. They utterly failed to justify the waste of 30 million dollars to drive their own ideology which is (a) not supported by evidence and (b) is nowhere near the primary causes.
People who believe in the "patriarchy" as some kind of shadow overlord or "systematic racism" are quite literally conspiracy theorists. There are no evidence for their claims, the contrary! Yet they will refuse all evidence. Any evidence they see they claim is "manipulated by the white man".
My ex had no problem getting drunk Beating on me. Kids pulling her off. Being a man police said abandoned your home, kids & leave, or suck it up. During "Me too" not a scratch on her, my face bloodied, they refused to arrest or remove her. Several times. Gender did seem to play a role.
Women make good factory workers: easily amused and occupied by the most montonous, mundane activities. Government civil servants are typically incompetent, lazy, and unnecessary.

I mean, imagine being a man with 2 functioning neurons in your brain, and listening to the unrecognisable crap coming from these people *EVERYDAY* I'd shoot myself.
Its crazy to think that assertive and truth seeking politicians is a rare breed when these should be the baseline characteristics of political representatives
"It is not our departments role to go through what’s on it’s website and see citation arrangements or referencing in that sense, with all due respect " What the Ef did I just hear her say??
The question of the day! "Did you achieve what you set out to do?" ...blah blah blah... Bs filter "no". If I waisted 30m on a program without quantified results, I'd be fired!
The claim that the ladies are making, is totally destroyed by the fact that a high percentage of the abused return to their abusers. Bad individual decisions are not caused by gender inequality, but only by the decision maker.
She talks about campaigns with indigenous celebrities through social media and online but anyone who has been/seen troubled indigenous areas know that 99% of them don't have phones or any internet facilities. 30 million dollars of tax payer money and no results is what it sounds like.
What a stupid method of inquiry. How will we as the public get to the truth if our representatives are limited to a couple of minutes of questions which are then wasted with long winded and evasive answers. I never see any concern on the part of the departments or persons under review, because they know they only have to hold out for a short period and we will move on and continue the status quo. Go David! Do what you can in the little time they give you.
If you watch the video of David's previous questions to these women and compare that with the current one, it's like a teacher gave his students homework, to be handed in ASAP. The students all failed, and now their excuses aren't even as good as saying the dog ate my homework. Plus not a single citation is from a published study, it's all from other government, or agency,,websites. But it's only thirty million!!!
When you get right down to it, it's all about money. Paying the salaries of these and other people involved in "violence against women" prevention campaigns.
What evidence? They do not have any evidence. They have assertions and opinions dressed up as research. You also have to watch them use research that is talking about third world counties (Bangladesh, Pakistan etc) and applying this to Australia.
Imagine if these universities they went to actually taught the difference between an assertion contained in a study, versus a study that provides empirical evidence to back such an assertion up.
Also $30 million is a boat load of money. These people should have to be held accountable and make transparent every single penny that was spent and the resulting ROI.
I am almost tempted to allow these ideologues to have their way if I was able to sit in safety and view the destruction their foolish meddling would cause.
They seem to be fighting to justify the expense. But what they should be doing is agree to examine the assertion they have made, and work towards better approaches to solving the problems of domestic violence, not desperately trying to defend their unscientific approach.
I want to be as cool as this senator. 😃. This is the third time I watch him confront a panel of women. He is really calm. Like Morgan freeman’s voice calm.
"It's not our job to review citations". Brings to mind a quote in the movie "As Good as it Gets" with regards to the main character being asked how does he write woman so well... "I think of a man and I take away reason and responsibility." God help us! We pay these fools to do this... It's a really poor reflection on the electorate that we've allowed such weak minded ideologues to have such power. I know there are plenty of reasonable intelligent women who are thoughtful and bright. There's no sign of their existence here though.
Great job thanks Senator. You could use the Nordic paradox ( higher DV in Sweden and Norway etc.. ) and the high rate of DV in lesbian relationships to further challenge the tax funded scam.
For such a complex issue, they have certainly tried to simplify it way too much in broader terminology that doesn't truly reflect issues that require a bit more detail to give context (history of family abuse, low income, drugs and alcohol, outdated views on gender roles in relationships etc).
Keep up the good work. Please remember that methodology is the same no matter what the time period is. They are very good at what they do. I had the same experiences in Canberra. As for Dr Michael Flood....
where was this chick fighting for mens equality when my son 8 months old at the time ended up in the hospital with a couple fractured ribs fractured wrist... two burnt feet... while in his mothers care... where was this woman when department of child safety took my child and didnt leave him in my care because the one who did it to him painted me in a bad light lying about me calling me a druggy a woman beater and a apeist... were was she when docs explained in court to a judge that grilled them explained that because a woman said things they didnt do their job and investigate if the father of the child was a suitable carer for his own child... she was probably thinking about "womans equality" at the time... these people will not stop until society dies and only then when victory is in hand blame it once again on men...
He said instead of a last question he would put a comment forward, to sum up his position. Then she asks "Is there a question?" Well he asked a lot of questions already, I think he deserved as a senator one opinion based on the evidence lol 30,000,000 dollars. Wowzers.
5:00 - So it's not their job to check citations for research upon which they are basing their campaign on? That's what tobacco lobbyists would have said when questions appeared about the health concerns of smoking! Come on... checking and affirming the research you are using to build a campaign is at the very *heart* of your job. Otherwise you could just make anything up and run with it... Oh wait...
Hear them start yelping at the end, when Leyon-heart broke it down and told them they were full of sh*t? They just expected it to all go through unquestioned, with people taking the chance to signal their virtue instead of examine at the issue.
at 10.45 that woman said "violence against women was both a consequence and a cause of gender inequality" weren't they arguing that inequality was the cause of the violence. that's a vicious circle.

Yes, you are absolutely right. My father was the nicest guy around until he drank whiskey, then he'd literally beat my mother to the point where she couldn't move. This was in the early 1970's. Using domestic violence as a means to address "gender inequality" to get better pay is just disrespectful to those women who are in this situation. Side note: My (4) brothers have never once been violent with a woman, though 2 of them have had their wives be violent with them. And I have never tolerated a violent man.
Shhhhhh we get a lot of tax from that
Great work.
Please talk to Karen Straughan of The Honey Badgers (RUclips/Reddit personality) - she is the most well informed person on DV in the world.
Also check out "REFERENCES EXAMINING ASSAULTS BY WOMEN ON THEIR SPOUSES OR MALE PARTNERS:
AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY" - it can be found on Google.
"This bibliography examines 286 scholarly investigations: 221 empirical studies and 65 reviews and/or analyses, which demonstrate that women are as physically aggressive, or more aggressive, than men in their relationships with their spouses or male partners. The aggregate sample size in the reviewed studies exceeds 371,600. "
55% of DV victims are male - how the hell can it be caused by gender inequality?!
This guy when he calls out indigenous and minority high rates he does more than these PC advocates ever do
PC LEADS TO SUFFERING!!!!
Shut down all these agencies they do nothing, but waste money
No. They do things. They have planning days. They have meetings. They formulate strategies. They write reports. They make recommendations. They review, review, review. Oh, and they do pretty looking risk assessments.
I am about to watch for the first time.. Every one take a drink every time she says 'I will take that on notice.'
Leyonhjelm should be PM, great work mate
In other words $30,000.000.00 thats thirty million dollars has been spent on a program without result in the reduction of domestic violence and we still haven't worked out that it just may be the result of financial stress, an inability to articulate and understand feelings and emotions (on both sides), drug and alcohol abuse (on both sides) lack of a social behavioural framework and the list goes on which makes it all too hard so we will blame it on the wage gap and gender inequality. that should be ambiguous enough so that no-one questions it. well don, well done, pat yourselves on the back.
Bang on mate
women's group - "Can we have 30 million quid to stop Muslims and Abo's from smacking their wives please?"
government - "How are you going to do that?"
women's group - "We're going to teach white boys that they are bad and that it's wrong to hit women."
That's it in a nutshell.
Great work Mr Leyonhjelm!
He should be our pm!!!
1:40 So what this woman is saying is that men who indicate positive views (or less negative views) towards beating up women... are more likely to beat up women. Wow, I'm so glad the Australian Govt spent millions of dollars to find that out.
I don't doubt for a second that in OTHER countries, or among some immigrant groups, women having little in the way of financial resources plays a role in DV (them being unable to leave due to not having the financial resources to leave, or fearing that their children will grow up in poverty without the financial support of an abusive man), but I think arguing that a woman earning 80k is more likely to get beat up because her male peers are earning more (due to working more overtime etc) is going to play that big a difference in DV outcomes compared to if she earned 80k but her male peers earned less.
So it would be more fair to say... which most reasonable people would agree with, that POVERTY is a major factor in DV... but they'd never say that because they want to push a narrative (about how important all this nonsense about the supposed "Pay Gap" is) and use this to justify the Australian Govt spending millions on their pet projects.
5:15 So you agree or disagree with their claim? Also since you link to their site and encourage people to "get educated" by reading it, 1. You do have some duty to make sure the claims by that site are factually accurate, and 2. If you believe that people who read that site will walk away more uninformed than they were to begin with, you have a responsibility NOT to link to it.
7:22 What are this woman's qualifications? Because if she has any kind of degree, someone should've explained to her that "Correlation does not establish causation". Besides, I don't think many people would argue that societies that view women with contempt are more likely to condone violence towards them, though I question the sincerity of feminists to tackle this issue until they go after the big one (Islam).
+1000
" If you believe that people who read that site will walk away more uninformed than they were to begin with, you have a responsibility NOT to link to it."
Exactly. They seem to think that by talking, they are answering the question.
They utterly failed to justify the waste of 30 million dollars to drive their own ideology which is (a) not supported by evidence and (b) is nowhere near the primary causes.
feminist mafia looks after its self
Listening to these women are like listening to flat earthers.....
Flat earthers have stacks of evidence and observable and repeatable experiments, ie, science. These women have none
Flat earthers are more believable lol.
People who believe in the "patriarchy" as some kind of shadow overlord or "systematic racism" are quite literally conspiracy theorists. There are no evidence for their claims, the contrary! Yet they will refuse all evidence. Any evidence they see they claim is "manipulated by the white man".
My ex had no problem getting drunk Beating on me. Kids pulling her off. Being a man police said abandoned your home, kids & leave, or suck it up. During "Me too" not a scratch on her, my face bloodied, they refused to arrest or remove her. Several times. Gender did seem to play a role.
I like that senator. He has the common sense many of the others don’t have
We need politicians like this in the U.K.
@18:00 “Senator is there a question?”........”no I think this chairs giving me the wind-up!” 🤣👍
Is she pretending to look intelligent by constantly playing with her spectacle
Krishna Oza Every act needs a prop.
Yes
why is it all women working on these type of crap
For their own benefit and self interest, obviously.
Women make good factory workers: easily amused and occupied by the most montonous, mundane activities.
Government civil servants are typically incompetent, lazy, and unnecessary.
Otherwise they will have to learn how to be useful, life is too good now to beat them into submission of being good mothers, so they remain useless.
What a load of feminist garbage. Citing studies, web sites etc with no citations or references. Instant 'fail' if you did that in an exam or thesis at any University !!
I mean, imagine being a man with 2 functioning neurons in your brain, and listening to the unrecognisable crap coming from these people
*EVERYDAY*
I'd shoot myself.
Well done David... keep asking the hard questions
Its crazy to think that assertive and truth seeking politicians is a rare breed when these should be the baseline characteristics of political representatives
And the HUGE amount of Gay domestic violence?
Especially the lesbian domestic violence?
And the one third of victims being men? Sighted by police
Poverty, drug and alcohol abuse, childhood abuse are far more at the heart of the issue than gender inequality.
Hang on!.... She's a woman so must be right!.... How dare anyone question that assertion!
The Krutchinator questioning women and treating them the same as men is misogynistic
Leyonhjelm for prime minister
"It is not our departments role to go through what’s on it’s website and see citation arrangements or referencing in that sense, with all due respect " What the Ef did I just hear her say??
We need this man in the US, he would make a great senator here
Watch the video of this man taking them on specifically regarding the “pay gap”, it is brilliant. The women were embarrassing themselves.
We need this guy here in Europe!
The question of the day! "Did you achieve what you set out to do?" ...blah blah blah... Bs filter "no". If I waisted 30m on a program without quantified results, I'd be fired!
Love this man.
Senator you are smart polite and sensible...you do a good job
The claim that the ladies are making, is totally destroyed by the fact that a high percentage of the abused return to their abusers. Bad individual decisions are not caused by gender inequality, but only by the decision maker.
She talks about campaigns with indigenous celebrities through social media and online but anyone who has been/seen troubled indigenous areas know that 99% of them don't have phones or any internet facilities. 30 million dollars of tax payer money and no results is what it sounds like.
What a stupid method of inquiry. How will we as the public get to the truth if our representatives are limited to a couple of minutes of questions which are then wasted with long winded and evasive answers. I never see any concern on the part of the departments or persons under review, because they know they only have to hold out for a short period and we will move on and continue the status quo. Go David! Do what you can in the little time they give you.
If you watch the video of David's previous questions to these women and compare that with the current one, it's like a teacher gave his students homework, to be handed in ASAP. The students all failed, and now their excuses aren't even as good as saying the dog ate my homework. Plus not a single citation is from a published study, it's all from other government, or agency,,websites. But it's only thirty million!!!
God, he has the patience of a saint!
When you get right down to it, it's all about money. Paying the salaries of these and other people involved in "violence against women" prevention campaigns.
One of my favorite comedians working today. He keeps setting them up and the Ministry of truth keeps knocking them down
"We expect to see changes in 10 years - please keep paying me. I won't have a job otherwise."
30 million tax payer dolloros down the drain.
I would like to to see what questions are asked and how they are worded in the surveys, for the statistics they use
What evidence? They do not have any evidence. They have assertions and opinions dressed up as research. You also have to watch them use research that is talking about third world counties (Bangladesh, Pakistan etc) and applying this to Australia.
This is the 'air soft' guy?
LOL. What a legend. Destroy them all.
@Didddin duuu nufffin Wakanda enn shiiieet too bad he isn't a senator anymore tho
Senator Leyonhjelm is a great man
round & round & round they go.......never actually answering the bloody question!
Imagine if these universities they went to actually taught the difference between an assertion contained in a study, versus a study that provides empirical evidence to back such an assertion up.
Also $30 million is a boat load of money. These people should have to be held accountable and make transparent every single penny that was spent and the resulting ROI.
I am almost tempted to allow these ideologues to have their way if I was able to sit in safety and view the destruction their foolish meddling would cause.
They seem to be fighting to justify the expense. But what they should be doing is agree to examine the assertion they have made, and work towards better approaches to solving the problems of domestic violence, not desperately trying to defend their unscientific approach.
Is there anywhere we can get a script of this....
Facts vs emotions, beautiful
4 women and 1 man? Equality in action.
Love this guy for testing their theories and lack of evidence
We need this man in Scotland
WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE for the assertions? Citations and references making assertions based on zero studies and zero statistics are meaningless!
These people got issues. They spent their life fighting for something that is nonexistent.
to make it very simple, are Australian tax dollars being evenly distributed based on facts or feelings?
Feminists got equality, in fact, in every country, they're riduculous at the same level, in the same way 😂😂😂... greetings from Italy!!! 😉
4:11 That was a really complicated way to say we we don't care how factual the data is, we fund them because they support our agenda.
Bingo
Platitudes 101 they r out of their league.
I want to be as cool as this senator. 😃. This is the third time I watch him confront a panel of women. He is really calm. Like Morgan freeman’s voice calm.
"It's not our job to review citations".
Brings to mind a quote in the movie "As Good as it Gets" with regards to the main character being asked how does he write woman so well... "I think of a man and I take away reason and responsibility."
God help us! We pay these fools to do this... It's a really poor reflection on the electorate that we've allowed such weak minded ideologues to have such power.
I know there are plenty of reasonable intelligent women who are thoughtful and bright. There's no sign of their existence here though.
Great job thanks Senator. You could use the Nordic paradox ( higher DV in Sweden and Norway etc.. ) and the high rate of DV in lesbian relationships to further challenge the tax funded scam.
So refreshing to hear a sensible voice in government, taking the feminist witches to task.
For such a complex issue, they have certainly tried to simplify it way too much in broader terminology that doesn't truly reflect issues that require a bit more detail to give context (history of family abuse, low income, drugs and alcohol, outdated views on gender roles in relationships etc).
Hahaha, the man!
Senator: The question really is, has domestic violence fallen
Her: waffle waffle, no real answer, waffle waffle
The crusade against postmodernism must be strong and vigilant!
Great senator!
Keep up the good work. Please remember that methodology is the same no matter what the time period is. They are very good at what they do. I had the same experiences in Canberra. As for Dr Michael Flood....
where was this chick fighting for mens equality when my son 8 months old at the time ended up in the hospital with a couple fractured ribs fractured wrist... two burnt feet... while in his mothers care... where was this woman when department of child safety took my child and didnt leave him in my care because the one who did it to him painted me in a bad light lying about me calling me a druggy a woman beater and a apeist... were was she when docs explained in court to a judge that grilled them explained that because a woman said things they didnt do their job and investigate if the father of the child was a suitable carer for his own child... she was probably thinking about "womans equality" at the time... these people will not stop until society dies and only then when victory is in hand blame it once again on men...
He said instead of a last question he would put a comment forward, to sum up his position. Then she asks "Is there a question?"
Well he asked a lot of questions already, I think he deserved as a senator one opinion based on the evidence lol
30,000,000 dollars. Wowzers.
All she did was reiterate the claim with a few anecdotes... But no actual evidence.
5:00 - So it's not their job to check citations for research upon which they are basing their campaign on? That's what tobacco lobbyists would have said when questions appeared about the health concerns of smoking! Come on... checking and affirming the research you are using to build a campaign is at the very *heart* of your job. Otherwise you could just make anything up and run with it... Oh wait...
Their evasiveness is gross. Drain the swamp...
Hear them start yelping at the end, when Leyon-heart broke it down and told them they were full of sh*t?
They just expected it to all go through unquestioned, with people taking the chance to signal their virtue instead of examine at the issue.
at 10.45 that woman said "violence against women was both a consequence and a cause of gender inequality" weren't they arguing that inequality was the cause of the violence. that's a vicious circle.
Thirty million dollars of public money for all these lies and rubbish.
What a clever insult, to actually force men to pay for being demonised.
Seems the public servants don't think there has to be any accountability to truth for entities which receive taxpayer funds.
OMG how can these people blatantly lie.
