“This country is in crisis. Real crisis.”

UPDATE:

Lisa Wilkinson lent her voice to the plight of all victims of domestic violence today as she led a segment on The Today Show addressing this week’s devastating events.

As she sat solemnly with a background made up of the many faces of women whose names we now know only in death, she called for action on domestic violence.

With one poignant statement, she summed up how Australia is feeling today.

“How many more women have to die before we do something?”

Like all of us, Lisa Wilkinson is appalled and horrified by the senseless death of Queensland mother Tara Brown, 24, allegedly at the hands of her ex-partner.

Wilkinson posted a picture of the young woman to Instagram with a heartfelt plea for change to a system that turns away women like Tara Brown when they most need help.
