I have been advised that the Family Violence Prevention Legal Services have an anticipated underspend this year of $500,000—that is just in this year. We do not yet have the final figure for acquittals; they are still coming from the service providers. I am confident it is going to show that this funding was not even being spent in the previous years. I notice you are talking about Family Violence Prevention Legal Services. You forgot to mention the $6 million we just provided to the Northern Territory government so everybody in the Northern Territory can enjoy access to those sorts of services.
