More than $72 million will be poured into initiatives across the state to prevent family and domestic violence as the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence begins.

$22.6 dollars is earmarked for 16 new units at the Stirling Women’s Refuge, while a two-year public education campaign will attempt to challenge “outdated and dangerous views.”

The news comes as a particularly bitter battle between Perth Lord Mayor Basil Zempilas and Premier Roger Cook over the future of a city women’s refuge heats up.

6PR Mornings host described Zempilas and Cook’s dispute over funding for the refuge as “ugly politics”.
