 John BERGER (Southern Metropolitan) (19:03): (2598) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Prevention of Family Violence. One of the first actions the Labor government took on coming into office in 2014 was to establish a Royal Commission into Family Violence. Since then the royal commission handed down its report in 2016, and as of 2023 all recommendations of the report have been implemented. This is an effort to be commended, but unfortunately, as we know, family violence is an issue that affects an unacceptable number of Victorians every year. The action I seek is for the Minister for Prevention of Family Violence to provide an update on what the Allan Labor government has done to combat family violence and ensure the recommendations of the royal commission are successfully upheld.
