00:00 Today was about hearing from those experts and those involved in arguing for change for decades, including Rosie Batty,
00:08 who Australians will know as someone who has driven the national conversation about the need to do better for women and children throughout our country.
00:17 Out of today, we have clearly heard three very clear things.
00:22 That we need to invest very clearly in crisis responses and frontline services for women who are fleeing domestic and family violence,
00:32 who are fleeing violent homes, violent partners, violent relationships.
00:38 But that we need to do better in primary prevention and in early intervention.
00:44 This was a comprehensive two hour dedicated cabinet meeting just to talk about what is happening with violence against women in our society.
00:54 That's not something that we do regularly.
