The Abbott government has provided $1 million in funding over four years to the White Ribbon campaign—in particular, to increase engagement from culturally and linguistically diverse communities, including new and emerging communities. The Abbott government has also provided $6 million towards the Northern Territory's $18 million Domestic and Family Violence Reduction Strategy 2014-17. We have translated the Second Action Plan into 12 different languages so that culturally and linguistically diverse communities have access to information. We regularly update the community on the important work being done by all governments and civil society through the Second Action Plan newsletter. Last month, 20 new research projects, valued at approximately $3.5 million, were announced to support the reduction of violence against women and children. And, just last week, the government announced a $1 million investment to establish a sports grants bank which will be administered by Our Watch from which national sporting codes can fund violence prevention activities.
