Greens Senate Leader and spokesperson on Women, Senator Larissa Waters wrote to Minister for Women, Marise Payne, asking for additional funding and national coordination to improve police services available to people reporting domestic violence.
Ahead of tomorrow’s meeting of Women’s Safety Ministers she urged an investment of $5.3 billion for a new 10-year National Partnership Agreement on Domestic Violence and Violence Against Women between state and Federal governments.
"Governments must listen when these front line services say more funding will make a difference and invest to fix the domestic violence crisis," she said.
