Every single death is one too many. We know that domestic violence against women takes many forms, including coercive control. The decision to legislate in this area sits with states and territories; however, we have committed $4.7 million to invest in legislative reform across the country as part of the $1.1 billion Women's Safety Package. This is the single largest investment in women's safety and acts as a down payment on the next national plan, which is currently being consulted upon.
