My question is to the Prime Minister. The government has discontinued funding to the Keeping Women Safe in Their Homes program, which helps protect women who have experienced family violence. This program improves security for women and children, including changing the locks on the front door and sweeping for listening devices in the home. Australian women shouldn't have to choose between staying at home or staying safe. So will the Prime Minister match Labor's announcement from yesterday and commit $18 million to continue support for this vital program?
