My question is to the Prime Minister. With respect, the member for Goldstein's question was the first to address domestic and family violence in this place. Many talk about keeping communities safe, but we are failing women and children. A woman a week and a child every two weeks are killed and yet we talk of keeping communities safe. Both sides of parliament came together to pass urgent legislation following the High Court decision. Where is the urgency, the national emergency, when it comes to women and children? With respect, 10 years is not good enough.
