Ms Lisa Kennedy:
In my submission, I mentioned a victims of crime ombudsman to deal with complaints, particularly now with the introduction of the directive. Currently, there is no complaints system in place for victims of crime, not just tourists. An ombudsman system would be useful to deal with complaints from victims of crime whose rights have been breached.
