Every one of us needs to take responsibility for that every day.

So I will never in my life say we're doing enough while there is a single woman or a single child or a single person experiencing violence or coercion or control or whether they're frightened.

at home or on the street.

I'm never going to say, yep, job done.

I've been working in this area for decades and I've seen amazing progress, but not enough progress for me to think that we don't need to continue to push.

But I think it's also important to acknowledge where progress has been made, because unless you celebrate the wins, it's hard to keep people motivated.

And so acknowledging, I mean, we've added $4.4 billion of funding in this area.

That includes around a billion dollars every year, for example, for the Leaving Violence Initiative.

program, which gives people up to $5,000 support to leave a violent relationship.

When I first started working domestic violence, if you had told me that we could help a woman with $5,000 of support to leave a violent situation immediately, I would have thought, wow, that will change everything.

Safety planning is a really important part of that.

Actually being able to talk to someone about making your safety plan, leaving safely, because we know most violence, including most homicides, happen when someone's leaving a violent relationship.

We've got $1.2 billion going into emergency housing.

We're doing big reforms in both family law and child support to make these big government systems safer for victims of violence.

We're working with the private sector, like financial institutions, to prevent financial abuse through things like banking apps.

We're working with the tech sector.

on stalking and nudify apps and all the things that technology facilitated abuse are throwing up as new challenges.

There's so much work going on.

In fact, we've got over 500 activities right now with the states and territories coming out of that first action plan.

Will I say that that's enough?
