Senator Thorpe, of course we listen to and consider and engage with organisations that have experience in these areas, and we will continue to do so in the time to come. We are always open to new ideas or new strategies for improving people's safety. That's part of the reason why we have invested in domestic violence units, it's part of the reason why we have invested in the Lighthouse Project and it's part of the reason why we have invested in the kinds of location upgrades that I referred to earlier. Safety is very important, and that's why we are doing what we are doing.
