[speeches and comments of various members]

619. Hon ALISON XAMON to the minister representing the Minister for Police:

I refer to the government’s failure to increase funding for family and domestic violence counselling, advocacy and support service contracts to adequately take into account increased costs, including the full impact of the equal remuneration order, increased demand and the COVID-19 pandemic.

(1)  Was the minister aware that family and domestic violence support staff have been removed from some police stations?
