As the senator would be aware, we as a government, like previous governments—in fact, commencing in 2010 with what I would say was strong multipartisan support—have been supporters of, engaged in and leading on the National Action Plan to Reduce Violence Against Women and Their Children. Part of that is underpinned by the engagement of women's safety ministers from the states and territories with the Commonwealth ministers, who are at this point in time Minister Ruston and me. That is the framework under which the Commonwealth and the states and territories work on all of these issues. In relation to those individual reports, if I have anything further to add, I will bring further information to the chamber.
