Domestic violence and violence against women must not be tolerated in our community. We, as a community, must work together to combat this. I was proud to join the Zonta club in arranging a domestic violence forum last week in my electorate, which was attended by over 120 people from all walks of life. I would like to thank and acknowledge Cintra Amos and Anne Miller from the Zonta district for their outstanding efforts in supporting and promoting the event. I would also like to thank Erica Majba of Zonta and Maria Hagias from the Central Domestic Violence Service, who provided valuable information to those in attendance.

I was pleased to be joined by the guest speaker, the Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for Women, Senator Michaelia Cash, and the South Australian Shadow Minister for the Status of Women, the Hon. Michelle Lensink. (Time expired)
