My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Women today, who I believe is Senator Wong. At least 28 women have been killed by violence this year, almost twice as many as at this time last year. Men's violence against women is a national emergency, but Labor refuses to provide an emergency response. The women's safety sector has repeatedly called for $1 billion each year for frontline services so that no-one who seeks help has to be turned away, back to violence. You said you'd be a government for women, so will the Albanese government finally recognise men's violence against women as a national emergency and commit $1 billion per year for frontline services in tonight's budget?
