Pauline Hanson, leader of Australia's far-right One Nation party, has sparked widespread condemnation after describing domestic violence as a "two-way street" and telling women being abused to simply "not put up with it." The comments, made on Brisbane radio station 4BC, drew sharp rebukes from government ministers, advocacy groups, and Brittany Higgins (a prominent Australian activist and now executive director of the Vida Fund), who accused Hanson of normalising victim-blaming at a time when 38 women have already been killed through gender-based violence in Australia this year. Critics, including activist Tarang Chawla — whose sister was murdered by her partner — and Women's Minister Katy Gallagher, warned that such remarks risk shifting responsibility away from perpetrators and sending a dangerous message to survivors.
