Today, with Senator Ruston and with our colleagues in the states and territories, we released the national implementation plan of the fourth action plan, which clearly demonstrates how the government is working with states and territories to reduce violence against women. I want to acknowledge Minister Ruston and also the states' and territories' women's safety ministers and the council, with whom we have been working and collaborating on this over recent months. The Australian government is responsible for 34 of the initiatives, representing our $340 million investment. The national implementation plan itself provides details of over 160 initiatives delivered under the fourth action plan. It's the first time under the national plan that we have seen the Australian government's activities together with those of state and territory governments. The plan sets out details for each of the initiatives, including funding, key milestones, intended outcomes and how it is linked to the 20 actions and the five national priorities of the fourth action plan.
