Independent MP for Fowler, Dai Le, has warned that any government campaign aimed at reducing the incidence of male-on-female domestic violence must be “mindful of language ... because not all men are violent.”

In moving to address the increasing numbers of women losing their lives, she warned that Australia must not “alienate one group from another.”
