Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Prime Minister) (14:57): I thank the member for Warringah for her question. My government came to office with a clear commitment to increase funding for community service workers dealing with violence against women and children. I announced it in Queanbeyan with the now member for Eden-Monaro—I'm not sure if the fine minister was the member at the time—and with then shadow minister Linda Burney. We announced the most significant expansion, and we put the money in the budget. Now there are people working to protect women and children from domestic violence because of that. One of the first pieces of legislation that we introduced in this parliament was for 10 days paid domestic and family violence leave. It was one of the very first. That is now in place as a result of my government's actions. We ensured, in our budget process, in the two budgets handed down by the Treasurer, that we provided the funding that in many cases was due to stop on 30 June. After we came to office, we went through it line by line, including in places like— The SPEAKER: The Deputy Leader of the Opposition on a point of order? Ms Ley: Could the Prime Minister just refine— The SPEAKER: I want to hear what the point of order is. Can you just state what the point of order is. Ms Ley: It's a point of order and relevance, Mr Speaker. Could the Prime Minister refine his tone given the subject matter we are discussing? The SPEAKER: Resume your seat. That is not a point of order. That is an abuse of the standing orders as the Deputy Leader of the Opposition. The Prime Minister is being directly relevant to the question and outlining the government's response. Mr ALBANESE: I'm passionate about the issue of family and domestic violence, and I'm passionate about doing something about it because I know the impact that it has. I've been there. I'm determined to make sure that my government, while we are in office, make a difference each and every day and at each and every opportunity that we have had around the cabinet table, led by, it must be said, the Minister for Women, Katy Gallagher. Minister Amanda Rishworth and Minister Bill Shorten have particular responsibilities in these areas but are particularly led by Katy Gallagher. If there has been a stronger advocate for women ever elected to either chamber in this place, I have not seen them. So we will continue to do what we can, and I would hope that we do so, reflected by the Leader of the Opposition's last comments in response to the question that I received, in a bipartisan way. I accept, for example, that the Leader of the Opposition took some measures, when he was minister, particularly aimed at children and those issues. These issues certainly should remain bipartisan. I assure the member for Warringah that I will continue to be a strong advocate, but I'm very proud of what my government has done. Has it been perfect? No, because these issues aren't perfect. They take time. It's not just a matter of government. It's a matter of every bloke having a conversation around the pub or at the footy, calling it out when they see that it's wrong. Men have a responsibility. Men are in a position to make a difference with their peers. This needs to be not just a government response—this needs to be a whole-of-society response. And that is what I am committed to as a matter of urgency.
