Australia news live: Chalmers says ‘monetised misogyny’ online fuelling DV; Greens say triple zero run for ‘profits of corporations’

Australian Treasurer Jim Chalmers has linked online 'monetised misogyny' to domestic violence, saying it is one of the factors contributing to the issue. This statement suggests that the government believes online hate speech and sexism are contributing to the rise in domestic violence cases. The acknowledgment of this issue could lead to increased scrutiny on social media companies to take responsibility for promoting respectful online discourse. This, in turn, may impact the advertising revenue of these companies, potentially influencing their business models.

Why it matters

The story discusses social issues in Australia, which may not have a direct impact on markets. The government's potential support for a national plan is still unclear.
