My question is to the Attorney-General. Women in Curtin have told me about the continued abuse they've experienced from former partners through family law systems. The Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence Commission found that family law and justice systems are continuing to cause harm. It recommends your department lead a time-bound program that builds on past reviews, with measurable actions to address this. Will the government commit to that program so that our justice systems keep women safe?
