I have two points of clarification for the minister. Given that, in the 2023-24 financial year, 83 per cent of applications for parenting or parenting-and-property related orders filed in the Federal Circuit and Family Court contained allegations of family violence, why should a further burden be placed on victims-survivors to prevent the disclosure of their confidential records? Further to that, given the lack of capacity in the community legal system, how will victims-survivors be made aware of this responsibility, given we know that up to a thousand a week are currently being turned away from free legal advice?
