Flanked by his new Minister for Women, Senator Michaelia Cash, the 2015 Australian of the Year Rosie Batty, and outspoken advocate for women's rights and former Victorian Police Minister, Ken Lay, Mr Turnbull said the government must make it a "clear national objective to ensure that Australia is more respecting of women".
"We have to make it as though it was un-Australian to disrespect women," he said.
