The Algorithm of Disrespect – Commonwealth Government
This federal government initiative allows you to explore a young person’s social media experience.
Social media allows young Australians to connect with others, create and maintain relationships and to express themselves. It can also expose them to a world of disrespect.
Social media algorithms, designed to prioritise and favour provocative and polarising content, can automatically serve disrespectful content and violence-supportive attitudes to young Australians, every day. During their teenage years this can influence their views and behaviour, ultimately shaping the type of person and partner they grow up to be.
It can be difficult to censor or moderate the content young people may be exposed to online. It is our responsibility to better understand it so we can empower them, help them navigate it and reject disrespect before it leads to violence.

Path to Safety
Path to Safety: Western Australia’s Strategy to Reduce Family and Domestic Violence 2020 – 2030 sets out a clear whole-of-government and community plan for reducing and responding to family and domestic violence over the next decade.
The strategy has four focus areas:
- work with Aboriginal people to strengthen Aboriginal family safety
- act immediately to keep people safe and hold perpetrators to account
- grow primary prevention to stop family and domestic violence
- reform systems to prioritise safety, accountability and collaboration.
The Strategy is supported by action plans that set out what needs to be done to achieve the long-term vision of all Western Australians living free from family and domestic violence.
