March 4 Justice Organiser Janine Hendry has called on Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack to enact “structural and systemic reforms” during a tense exchange in Parliament House.
More than 100,000 people are expected to attend rallies across Australia today to call for an end to gendered violence and action by politicians.
Ms Hendry said she would like Mr McCormack to attend the March 4 Justice rally but the deputy prime minister cried busy and said he would check his schedule.
“I want some action,” Ms Hendry said.
“The women of Australia want some action.
“We’re drawing a line in the sand right here right now.”
