00:00As a Western Sydney community continues to mourn three children allegedly killed by their father,
00:09both the state and federal governments have fielded questions about the rising domestic violence death toll across the country.
00:16There's a recognition from the government that we can be doing more.
00:19One of the big dilemmas that we have is there doesn't seem to be a lot of commonality between the alleged perpetrators.
00:26I have to be really clear that this is not a new issue when it comes to family and domestic violence.
00:33We need to look in all the areas of prevention, early intervention, response and healing and recovery.
00:40Less than 48 hours after the children died, 21-year-old Nunya Kuruleba was allegedly murdered by her boyfriend in a Sydney unit.
00:49So far this year, 41 women have allegedly been killed by men in Australia.
00:55In Melbourne, police have charged a man over the death of English teacher Annette Brennan,
00:59whose body was found at a waste management facility last week.
01:03And in Adelaide, a man allegedly deliberately set fire to a home on Sunday while his former partner and her three children were inside.
01:12No one was injured.
01:14Child protection in crisis. End the crisis now.
01:18In Sydney's West today, domestic violence and child protection workers held a rally calling for more funding.
01:25The simple fact is that there's not enough people to get to all the children that need to be seen.
01:29It's not working properly now. We need changes. We need money. We need staffing.
01:33We need to look at why we're losing staff.
01:35Child protection in crisis.
01:37More desperate calls from an under-resourced sector fighting to prevent further tragedies.
