Finally, I'm proud to discuss the government's commitment to addressing domestic violence. I, myself, have seen the sadness caused by domestic violence or any kind of bullying. I understand how terribly lonely and terrifying it can be. I understand that this feeling can be amplified during times of global crisis, so I speak to all Australians who have experienced or are experiencing domestic violence. I say this: we are here for you.

I just want to reiterate that this budget is for all Australians, and this budget is a proud budget from the government.
