National Cabinet: Opposition calls for DV funding to increase

Today's emergency National Cabinet aims to address the escalating levels of family and domestic violence. The sole agenda item is to find immediate, meaningful and practical action to address family violence.

Deputy Opposition Leader Sussan Ley says she agrees that investment in this area has to be massively increase in this area. She's called on the government to keep their promise to deliver 500 frontline and community workers to support women in crisis, claiming when she last checked in March, there were just 17  of the promised 500 workers.
