Addressing the cultural drivers of domestic and family violence (DFV) has become a core policy priority for governments across Australia. Over the last five years, the Queensland Government has taken a particularly strong stance on the issue through its Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Strategy 2016–2026. This strategy identifies the Queensland Government's leading aim of changing the community culture that drives DFV. Although there is significant evidence to support this aim, there is equally important evidence suggesting that public policies often contain problematic assumptions and ideologies that limit their ability to achieve their aims. This article presents a critical discourse analysis of Queensland's Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Strategy 2016–2026 and related policy documents to examine the assumptions and ideologies underpinning Queensland's policy and their potential to impact on policy outcomes. The findings broadly identify three areas of concern, namely an assumed link between attitudes and behaviours; a disproportionate focus on general community members compared to DFV perpetrators; and an implicit reinforcement of the gender hierarchy. The article concludes with a discussion of the broader implications of these findings for future policy development in Australia.

从目标到行动：对政府干预家庭暴力文化驱动因素的批判性分析

解决家庭暴力 (DFV) 的文化驱动因素已成为澳大利亚政府的核心政策重点。在过去五年中，昆士兰州政府通过其2016-2026 年家庭暴力预防战略在这个问题上采取了特别强硬的立场。该战略确定了昆士兰州政府改变推动 DFV 的社区文化的主要目标。尽管有大量证据支持这一目标，但同样重要的证据表明，公共政策通常包含有问题的假设和意识形态，限制了其实现目标的能力。本文对昆士兰2016-2026 年家庭暴力预防战略进行了批判性话语分析和相关的政策文件，以检查支持昆士兰政策的假设和意识形态及其对政策结果的影响的潜力。调查结果大致确定了三个关注领域，即态度和行为之间的假设联系；与 DFV 肇事者相比，对一般社区成员的关注不成比例；以及对性别等级的隐性强化。本文最后讨论了这些发现对澳大利亚未来政策发展的更广泛影响。
