The government is remaining tight lipped on what else it might do in this month’s federal budget to address domestic violence, as it comes under increasing pressure to deliver on existing promises.
The government is under increasing pressure to do more to address domestic violence in this month’s budget, as a starling update on a $169m pledge comes to light.
She said the onus was on states to get that number up, and was hopeful that figure would significantly climb in the coming months. In 2023, the government pledged $169m over four years to fund 500 new frontline workers who assist people experiencing domestic, family or sexual violence, to be recruited by the states.
Greens’ housing spokesman Max Chandler-Mather pointed to recent government data that more than 96 per cent of people who needed long-term housing after fleeing violence had been denied, describing it as a “national disgrace”.
