Mr
Speaker, as you may be aware, we put in place $60 million additional funding to
support not-for-profit non-government
organisations in this area. The Treasurer could, no doubt, interject and
provide a bit more information.
Mr
B.S. Wyatt : We also CPI-ed their
forward estimates after the Liberals reduced it quite dramatically by changing the wage policy index component.
Mr M. McGOWAN : That is right.
We changed the indexation measure. I recall that now. We are providing support.
There has never been more support provided. Although the area is an area of
high demand, there has never been more support, more construction, more funding
and more in the way of legislative reform to support the victims of family and
domestic violence.
