Very unlikely?

  An estimated 2.7 million Australian adults have experienced stalking since the age of 15, according to new results from the 2021-22 Personal Safety Survey (PSS) released today by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). 

  William Milne, ABS head of crime and justice statistics, said “We found one in five women and one in 15 men have been stalked.

  “Women were almost eight times more likely to be stalked by a male than by a female, while men were stalked by a male and by a female at a similar rate.”
