Brittany Higgins accuses Pauline Hanson of victim-blaming for calling domestic violence a ‘two-way street’

Pauline Hanson, leader of the One Nation party, has sparked outrage among domestic violence advocates after suggesting that women being abused should not "put up with it." In a recent interview with 4BC radio, Hanson described domestic violence as a serious issue, but also claimed it was a "two-way street," implying that victims share some responsibility for the abuse they suffer.

As Australia grapples with the devastating reality of domestic violence, Hanson's remarks have raised questions about her party's stance on this critical issue and whether she is truly committed to supporting survivors.
