As the Deputy is aware, an independent study was commissioned by my Department into familicide and domestic homicide reviews.

This independent research involved consultations with a wide range of stakeholders, including family members of victims, state agencies and non-governmental organisations, with a view to making recommendations to improve the State's response to familicide and domestic homicide.

I recently met with the victims’ families to inform them of my intention to bring the report to Government which I now intend to do. Once I have done so, I will provide a copy of the final report to the families and will then publish it.
