To clarify comments around family violence, the government think that that is a significant factor in family law cases—not false allegations, but family violence is a significant factor in family law matters, and the government is well aware of that. So I disagree with your proclamations in that regard. In regard to this issue of reference to Indigenous children in the legislation, that is based on an ALRC recommendation.
