Domestic Violence

The Hon. L.A. CURRAN (15:04): My question is to the Attorney-General regarding domestic violence. What does the Attorney-General have to say to Emma Walters, who has described the response by the South Australian Premier's behaviour as:

…a normalisation of domestic violence, bully tactics and coercive control where it becomes quietly acceptable.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:05): I thank the honourable member for her question. To anyone who has suffered domestic violence, I would say I am sorry for your experience and, as legislators, we have done on both sides and continue to do all we can to protect those who suffer this sort of violence.
