(a) Ensuring men who use violence are held accountable for their behaviours plays an important role in breaking the cycle of abuse.
The Cook Government, led by the Minister for the Prevention of Family and Domestic Violence, will continue to work hard to keep victim-survivors safe. This includes delivering new initiatives, such as men's behaviour change programs, to promote long-term change.
There is never any excuse for violence. I’d encourage the Leader of the Opposition to support the Government’s efforts.
