I also welcome the group and thank the women for the presentation and commend them on the work they are doing. I too would like to hear other examples of what the group wants for this family justice centre. Are there similar examples in other jurisdictions? What services would it offer? Would it be a law centre or would broader services be available? In Australia at one stage there were proposals for family relationship centres but the idea was to move some family law out of the courts for mediation. I do no know how they transpired but I was very interested at the time. When it is possible to negotiate, that is the way forward.
