That is deserved frustration and concern, concern that I share and I believe the members of this House share. One in four women have experienced intimate partner violence since the age of 15. One woman dies every nine days at the hand of a current or former partner. Indigenous women are 34 times more likely to be hospitalised than non-Indigenous women. Notwithstanding the many achievements of our nation over many, many years, including in relation to the advancement of women, we as a nation must continue to take up this cause. Here at home, our job is still not yet done. It is far from done on all of these matters.
