My question is to Senator Ryan as the minister representing the Minister for Social Services. As has already been mentioned today, White Ribbon Day is this Friday—a day that is about preventing domestic violence. We can all agree that domestic violence is abhorrent and that victims deserve support. Given that the Australian Bureau of Statistics tells us that one in three victims of domestic violence is male, do you think male victims deserve a proportional level of support services as female victims?
