澳大利亚政治人物珀琳·汉森因近期关于家庭暴力的言论再次成为焦点。回顾其长达30年的政治生涯，汉森一直是男性权利运动的主要倡导者，通过攻击家庭法制度、质疑家庭暴力指控的合法性和批评女性主义来吸引不满情绪的白人男性选民支持[1]。
早在1996年的首次议会演讲中，汉森就开始攻击《家庭法法案》和子女抚养方案，声称这些制度对"非监护"父亲存在偏见[1]。同年她曾表示："我认为这个国家最受压迫的人是白人盎格鲁撒克逊男性"[1]。2023年，汉森在议会再度发言，宣称自己将是"唯一为澳大利亚最被压迫和忽视的少数群体：男性发声的女性"[1]。
在推动相关政策方面，汉森于2019年成功游说推动了对家庭法系统的议会调查，并被任命为该调查的副主席[1]。她声称"每周21名男性"因子女抚养费和监护权纠纷而自杀，但专家称这一统计数据无法证实[1]。与此相比，澳大利亚每11天有一名女性被男性暴力致死[1]。在2019年的议会演讲中，汉森表示她"听够了""仇恨男性的女性主义者"的声音[1]。
Australian politician Pauline Hanson has maintained a consistent focus on men's rights advocacy throughout her 30-year political career, repeatedly questioning domestic violence claims and criticizing family law frameworks [1]. In her 1996 parliamentary debut, Hanson attacked the Family Law Act and child support arrangements, arguing they were biased against non-custodial—predominantly male—parents [1]. That same year, she declared that "the most oppressed people in this country are white Anglo-Saxon males" [1].
This advocacy has intensified in recent years. In 2019, Hanson successfully lobbied for a parliamentary inquiry into the family law system and was appointed as deputy chair [1]. During that year's parliamentary address, she proclaimed herself "the only female voice for Australia's most oppressed and neglected minority: men," while stating she had "heard enough" from "man-hating feminists" [1]. Hanson has repeatedly cited a claim that "21 men per week" die by suicide over child support and custody disputes, though experts have stated this figure cannot be verified [1].
The figures surrounding domestic violence tell a different story: in Australia, a woman is killed by male violence approximately every 11 days [1].
