The time and cost of a royal commission were the two pivotal factors that led Premier Chris Minns to decide against a royal commission into DV.
Premier Chris Minns has ruled out a royal commission into domestic and family violence, saying the government doesn’t have the time necessary and the money required for it needs to be injected immediately into the sector.
“We haven’t made that decision lightly. We certainly haven’t brushed off calls for the royal commission ... but I’ve got confidence in the domestic violence prevention sector in NSW who knows what they’re doing, they just need the funds to get away.” Two weeks after the death of 28-year-old Molly Ticehurst, allegedly at the hands of her partner in Forbes, Minns responded to the intense pressure for reform by rolling out the funding package over the next four years, including nearly $50 million to help women and children remain in their home after ending a violent relationship.
