MORDIALLOC MP Tim Richardson has been appointed the first ever “parliamentary secretary for men’s behaviour change”. Premier Jacinta Allan announced the appointment last week. She said the position was created to address the attitude of men and boys towards women.
“Tim Richardson will become parliamentary secretary for men’s behaviour change, continuing the Allan Labor Government’s priority to make Victoria a safer place for women and children and work to end the tragedy of deaths of Victorian women at the hands of men,” she said. “This is the first position of its kind in Australia – and will focus largely on the influence the internet and social media have on boys’ and men’s attitudes towards women and building respectful relationships.”
