I move:

At the end of the motion, add ", but the Senate:

(a) notes that:

(i) the availability of paid family and domestic violence leave will allow more victim-survivors to access frontline services for advice and support, and

(ii) specialist frontline services will assist employers to implement the paid family and domestic violence leave scheme by providing advice and training, and options for referring affected workers; and

(b) acknowledges that frontline family and domestic violence services are already stretched beyond capacity and will require additional funding to meet existing and increased demand and ensure victim-survivors receive the support they need".

Question negatived.

Original question agreed to.

Bill read a second time.
