I'll come back if there's anything further I can provide. But you are right: this is one of the issues that the ministers for women's safety, yourself and others have been calling for because there is a range of organisations that report numbers of deaths and homicides against women, but a number use different information. Trying to get a picture of the exact information, with a definition that people agree on, has been difficult but the dashboard will be introduced as part of that. I think the time is about putting all the systems in place to ensure that the reporting, particularly from the states and territories, is accurate. It is being developed by the Australian Institute of Criminology and it will be able to provide us with more up-to-date figures, which is part of understanding the extent of the problem.
