Senator RUSTON (South Australia—Minister for Families and Social Services and Manager of Government Business in the Senate) (14:51): Thank you, Senator McAllister, for your question. The answer is no. This government has made an extraordinary commitment—an extraordinary commitment—to making sure that we support women who make the extraordinarily brave decision to escape domestic violence. As you would be well aware, Senator McAllister—or, you should be well aware—this government has a number of programs that are ongoing to support women who find themselves in the unfortunate position of requiring frontline family and domestic violence services.

If the senator reads the budget papers she will see that there was actually a new announcement, which hadn't been announced before, in relation to the ongoing funding for Australia's national domestic violence hotline: 1800RESPECT. We believe that this is one of the most important resources for women who are escaping domestic violence, so that they can make sure that they have it on demand— Senator Watt interjecting— Senator RUSTON: I'll take that interjection from Senator Watt—I think it was Senator Watt who interjected. It is not a re-announcement; it is a new announcement in relation to ongoing funding for the 1800RESPECT hotline. But, as I said, this is in addition to the $150 million that was made available just to address the issue of domestic violence during the COVID pandemic, as well as the $340 million of ongoing funding in relation to— (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator McAllister, a supplementary question?
