We in One Nation oppose this. One Nation wants to protect women and men, and especially children. We make decisions based on facts and data. Child homicides from 2000 to 2012 included 284 deaths by a parent—76 per cent of the 284 deaths were by a custodial parent; 49 per cent by the custodial mother; and 26 per cent by the custodial father. That is from the Australian Institute of Criminology report of filicide offenders, which is on the government's website.

The family law inquiry is underway. We need to wait until it reports on this major matter. That will give us the data on which to decide whether or not we need to look into anything further, because we believe it will unearth significant issues.
