dc.description.notesThis paper explores the history of the past 9 years of Australian Government’s national policy development on domestic violence and argues that policy has shifted its focus from a gender-based, woman-centred framework to that of family or individualised, relational approaches. It aims to raise questions about how a socio-political response to domestic violence can be maintained. It discusses what is meant by feminism through a literature review, the implications of competing ideas among Australian feminist activists and how this influenced national policy including violence against Aboriginal women. The Australian Government’s policy response to domestic violence, ‘Partnerships Against Domestic Violence’ (PADV), is examined. Analysis is also done on the national public education campaign launched in 2004 and funding, with questions raised about future policy development that ignores the relationships between domestic violence and gender relations under a socially conservative approach.en
