00:00 What we're seeing right now is a huge spike in domestic and family violence
00:03 and we've seen these terrible murders across Australia
00:06 and this is a national crisis and we need to start treating it as such.
00:10 We have a national plan and the national plan is thorough
00:14 but it's only thorough if it's implemented.
00:17 We need to be ensuring with the national plan we look at the how,
00:20 we look at the implementation, we look at the monitoring of it,
00:23 we look at the accountability of that national plan.
00:25 A moment in our lives where we actually saw political leaders marching,
00:29 the next step is action.
00:31 So we need more than words now, we need action, we need commitment, we need funding.
