I don't accept that assertion at the end. I would say that, since coming to government, since 2022, we have put women's policy and driving gender equality—which, as I said, is at the heart of women's safety and ensuring women's safety—at the centre of the government. It is at the centre of everything we think about. In relation to the Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence Commission, we're having the women's ministerial meeting on Friday, because it is essential. I agree with Senator Waters that we need to ensure, where we are providing investments across the Commonwealth, states and territories, we are doing so in a strategic and coordinated way. The commissioner will speak, I think, at the women's ministerial meeting on Friday. That work continues. Of the investments that are being made, ensuring that we are getting the most out of those opportunities is essential. But, as I said, we can't sit in isolation from everything we're doing across government Ent.
