The answer, Senator Moore, is, no, I haven't spoken to Senator Hanson in relation to that policy. But, in relation to domestic violence generally, I think that we can all say that it is something that I would hope that each and every one of us in this chamber is committed to absolutely eradicating.

The government's position has been very, very clear. All women and children in Australia need to be safe at home, safe in the streets and safe online. That is very much why the first announcement of the Turnbull government was the $100 million Women's Safety Package. That is, of course, on top of the Third Action Plan under the Commonwealth action plan to reduce violence against women and their children, which we committed a further $100 million to. I certainly hope that all of us in this chamber are absolutely committed to doing everything that we can to ensure that when we do say that women and children in Australia deserve to be safe we are putting in place the policies that will effect that.
