Any time we are discussing domestic violence, it is important to say to those listening that if they recognise these signs in regard to somebody else or themselves, there is help and support out there. The helpline number is 1800 341 900.

I thank the Minister for her response. It is important and it is clear that this is a priority for the Minister and the Government given that the Minister is actively looking at setting up a register for those who have committed domestic violence. I accept that it is simply not good enough to adopt legislation from another jurisdiction because we are very blessed in that we have a Constitution and everything has to be constitutionally sound.

It is really important we keep the pressure on. Last Saturday was not the first time I heard Jason speak. Each time I hear him I hear the trauma, sadness and desperation. It is really important we deliver on this.
