Never.
Not while there's a single person who is still subject to violence or abuse or fear.
Oh, well, look, there's a lot of families that just sort out their financial arrangements after separation themselves.
They're fine on their own.
About half of separated families use the child support scheme to collect money from the paying parent and pass that on to the child and the parent that they're living with most of the time.
In most cases, the paying parent is the dad.
In most cases, the receiving parent is the mum.
But of course, there's always variations to this.
How can it be misused?
Let me tell you, people are very creative in punishing their former partners.
Just one example is just never lodging a tax return.
So you as the receiving parent never get the money you're entitled to because there's an assumption that the paying parent is on a much lower income than they're actually on.
Absolutely.
So the new action plan gives us an opportunity of doing more of what's working, as I said, but it also is really an important opportunity to identify any gaps in what we're doing at the moment.
And I think treating young people, children and young people differently.
on their own, specifically as victims of family, domestic and sexual violence is a really big gap in the current action plan.
But one of the most alarming statistics, there's a lot of areas, as I said, where we're seeing slow, gradual improvement that we should celebrate.
One of the areas that I'm most worried about is this violence situation.
between young people where both the victim survivor and the perpetrator are under the age of 18.
Sometimes it's in the context of relationships, sometimes it's not.
