CANBERRA, 16 March, 2021 (TON): As the Australian PM Scott Morrison accused of ignoring the nationwide protests, the opposition urges the leader to show leadership to address misogyny in the nation’s Parliament.

As on Monday, tens of thousands of Australians gathered for the 4 March Justice Movement to protest misogyny and violence in politics and the broader community, the Albanese told Parliament, "They are crying out that this is a moment that requires leadership."

"It requires leadership from this prime minister and we are not getting it," he added.

The opposition Labor Party leader, Anthony Albanese said that Morrison tends to ignore clear calls made by the protestors across the country.

The “4 March Justice Movement” was established after the former government staffer, Brittany Higgins, alleged to be sexually assaulted in the office of Defense Minister Linda Reynolds by a colleague in 2019.

Similarly, Attorney-General Christian Porter was accused of the same charges that he denied.

"The system is broken, the glass ceiling is still in place and there are significant failings in the power structures within our institution,” Higgins told the rally on Monday.

However, in response the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Women, Marise Payne affirmed and agreed with the statements.
