It's a pleasure to be with you.

I understand why people want a Royal Commission, because they say this is such an important issue for our society.

And when an issue is important, they think a Royal Commission is an appropriate response.

What people who work on the frontline have said to me again and again is we've been consulted.

We've had eight royal commissions and major reports in recent years with a thousand recommendations.

Our Family, Domestic and Sexual Violence Commissioner, Michaela Cronin, last year totaled up all these recommendations.

And

I've got a lot of sympathy for the argument of frontline workers that we've been consulted.

We know what the problem is.

What we need is sustained action to change the incidence of violence in our community.

Because we know so much of what we need to do.

I go back to those thousand recommendations.

Frontline workers, I've just come from a service now, multicultural workers working with refugee and immigrant women.

They'll tell me what I need to do.

I'm meeting people every single day who say we've been consulted.

This is what we need more of.

And like I say, I mean, in Victoria, you've had a Royal Commission here.

The South Australian government's had a Royal Commission.

We've had the coronial inquests in the Northern Territory.

We've had the rapid review that all of the premiers and chief ministers and prime minister commissioned a little while ago.
