Eastern Victoria Region

Renee HEATH (Eastern Victoria) (14:09): (1634) My question is to the Minister for Prevention of Family Violence. The coroner recommended that Victoria Police notify women when violent partners are released from prison, a simple and life-changing reform, yet VicPol has admitted it cannot deliver this due to lack of resources and that the government has taken no action to implement the recommendation. So my question is: can you confirm whether the government will act on the coroner’s recommendation, and what steps are you taking to ensure that victims in my electorate are notified when their abusers are released?
