A national men's group is claiming victory over what it calls a feminist agenda on domestic violence.

An independent investigation has upheld the group's complaint about a public awareness campaign in South Australia.

The Ombudsman's inquiry found parts of the $870,000 campaign contained errors.

The Don't Cross The Line campaign has been running in newspapers, on television and radio and on a website.

The Ombudsman in South Australia found some statistics initially published on the site were false and misleading.

Advocacy group Men's Health Australia made a complaint against the Office of the Status of Women over 10 matters on the website.

The Ombudsman's final report substantiates seven of them and another two in part.

The Government had said one in 17 women was a victim of domestic violence annually, but the figure related to violence generally.

Michael Woods is one of the men's group's supporters and is from the Men's Health Information and Research Centre at the University of Western Sydney.

"It is a shame that a government department is unable, despite being notified a year ago, to address its own shortcomings and it required this sort of action," he said.

The ideological commitment of people in that department must be so strong that they would reject scientific data in favour of their own biases."

The SA minister responsible for the campaign, Gail Gago, says the statistical errors were innocent ones.

"There were I think problems with individuals that were transferring information from one source to another and the degree of diligence that should have occurred simply didn't," she said.

She rejected the group's claim of an agenda within her department.

"Our anti-violence campaign is not a contest about who's the biggest victim," the Minister for the Status of Women said.

Ms Gago says the Government has corrected the errors and there was no reason to end the campaign.

Domestic violence experts say the case highlights a tussle between men's and women's groups.

Men's Health Australia has also complained of incorrect statistics in the New South Wales Domestic Violence and Family Action Plan.

But the NSW Ombudsman so far has found no reason to investigate.

Dr Michael Flood is a domestic violence researcher from the University of Wollongong.

He says the men's group is muddying the debate.

"The group's complaint is not motivated by a genuine concern for male victims of violence. I think that it's motivated more by political agendas," he said.
