TIME FOR GOVERNMENT TO LEAD ON ADDRESSING DOMESTIC ABUSE
 

Today marks one year since the horrific murders of Hannah Clarke and her three children Aaliyah, Laianah and Trey. 
 

I'd like to start with a tale of two family law reforms. The first reform was promised by the government in their first Women's Economic Security Statement. I remind you that that was back in 2018. It's a relatively simple proposal, and it would make dividing super assets easier and fairer. It's supported by lawyers, by academics and by women's groups. The government promised, back in 2018, that they would have this reform up and running by July 2020—last year. Where do you think that reform's up to? Nowhere.

It is hard to imagine what would actually provoke this government to meaningfully respond to women's economic interests, in particular, the significance and importance of Australian women having access to the labour market and consequently developing their own economic and financial independence, because the true meaning of 'independence' is the ability to find your way out of circumstances not of your choosing, to make real choices in the knowledge you have the economic resources to support you.

Labor will introduce into the parliament a private member’s bill to give Australian women access to 10 days of paid domestic violence leave.

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. In Australia, on average one woman a week is murdered by her current or former partner.
