Of the e-petitions being presented, two attained over 100,000 signatures, which is a testament to public engagement in this democratic process. Of these two petitions, one addressed an issue of significant national importance—domestic violence. The over 100,000 signatures to this petition showed strong public engagement and appetite for action on this issue, with petitioners requesting the establishment of a national framework for a domestic violence disclosure scheme. I am pleased to inform the House that the committee also certified 70 new e-petitions at its last meeting. These e-petitions are now collecting signatures on the e-petitions website. I look forward to updating the House further on the work of the Petitions Committee at the next sitting week.
