I will now deal with the Family Law Amendment Bill 2024. I will first deal with the second reading amendment circulated by the Australian Greens. The question is that the Australian Greens amendment on sheet 3099 be agreed to.

Australian Greens' circulated amendment—

At the end of the motion, add ", but the Senate:

(a) notes that:

(i) the court process is often re-traumatising for victim-survivors and all judges and legal professionals within the family law system must undertake ongoing comprehensive trauma-informed training,

(ii) community legal centres, and specifically women's legal services, need more funding to assist women to navigate the family law system; and

(b) calls on the Government to require trauma-informed training for legal professionals and increase funding for legal assistance services".
