 The silverware display basically there's a 52 of our silhouettes out there of cardboard cut out of a 52 women. It's also symbolizes basically of one woman who died as a result of domestic violence at the hands of a male partner. Ladies and gentlemen we all know it's White Ribbon Day and to be really really honest with you domestic violence, violence against women and kids is a problem in our community. So we're here today as leaders of the Queen's Ampli Service and people who really care about these issues to say to you enough is enough. We need to do something about this. Now I see all the wonderful people from White Ribbon who are here today, the young ladies who are absolutely passionate about this cause and I thank them for doing that but at the end of the day it's not the women who can solve this problem it's us it's the men in the audience because we're the perpetrators we're the ones who do it. Now I'm not saying all of you do this in fact I would hope that most of you are loving fathers, husbands, brothers whatever but the point is this that men are the perpetrators of the violence which regularly occurs and sadly in Queensland we see a growing number of cases of domestic violence. We think at times that perhaps that growth in domestic violence is because women do know that they can trust their police department to come forward with confidence and make a complaint that they will get action and they will get support and I promise you that that is the case but at the end of the day we can't simply arrest ourselves out of this problem this is about every man in our society taking responsibility either to stop the violence or to be a great role model for some of those who don't have any leadership who don't have any moral compass it's time for us to be able to say enough's enough let's work together let's make this a safe community for absolutely everyone but in particular our women and our children. At the end of the day we are telling all men that enough is enough when it comes to domestic violence we are sending a message that all men needs to take action to stop domestic violence and also tell friends of theirs who are perpetrators of domestic violence that it's time to stop.
