Family violence

Mr ATKINSON: Can I also just provide a shout-out to Samantha Ratnam, who last night was a liaison person for the multicultural women’s alliance against family violence, which has just been formed. In fact it was founded last night in this place, and it is a significant organisation because whilst governments are spending a lot of money to try and support women and children in family violence circumstances, there is no doubt there is a gap in those services for multicultural communities. This organisation aims to tackle that, and I welcome its foundation.
