Scott Morrison has come under fire for his comments about the march4justice rallies across Australia saying that they were not 'met with bullets'.
The prime minister was speaking in parliament yesterday after the march4justice rallies against gendered violence.
The events attracted hundreds of thousands of women and men around Australia.
Mr Morrison said similar events elsewhere were met "with bullets".
Within hours the ACTU had started an online petition asking Mr Morrison to apologise for his comments.
The Greens said that he gave an "offensive message".
Labor's Tanya Pliberseck said that Mr Morrison "doesn't get it":
I really think that Scott Morrison just doesn't get it. We are at a moment in Australian history where women are just sad and frustrated. We have just had enough. I just think he is missing the point
