I understand that, but there is a gap. I am conscious that we are in the midst of a 16-day campaign that happens every year in opposition to violence against women. I am not asking our guests to sort this out but it should be highlighted and there should be an in-built analysis of the gaps and failures that exist and feedback provided to the Government thereon. Is that happening at the moment? Is the Government being told that the legislation is there but victims are not using the limited scheme that is in place? I think our guests will accept that.
