My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Minister Wong. The funding announced after Friday's National Cabinet meeting for frontline family, domestic and sexual violence services is still only 78 per cent of the $1 billion each year that the women's safety sector needs in order to help everyone who asks. This underfunding will still leave one in four people at risk of being turned away when they reach out for help to flee violence. Nuclear submarines get $368 billion over a decade. Property investors get $159 billion over a decade. Fossil fuels get $11 billion each year. Why are one in four women being denied the support that full federal funding of frontline services could deliver?
