This is a question for the Treasurer. Too many women struggle to navigate the legal system that's meant to protect them when they fear violence. Women's legal services turn away more than 50,000 women a year due to resource constraints and, with no new funding in the budget, are now having to reduce services. Why didn't the budget prioritise increasing these services, and will the Treasurer increase funding and certainty for committee legal services so women can get the support they need when in fear of violence?
