Domestic and Family Violence

Mr ODENWALDER (Elizabeth) (15:02): Supplementary to the minister's answer: when will the trial of the domestic violence disclosure scheme commence, as promised by your government, and what role will MAPS play?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (15:02): Thank you for the question. Those things are being worked through, and we actually had a round table earlier this year and discussed a lot of these principles.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER Order!

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: I have mentioned already the fact that we are going to the 24-hour crisis line, which I think is a great achievement. The member for Elder was at the round table and the Hon. Michelle Lensink from the other place ran it. I think the Deputy Premier was there as well. The Premier may have even called through, but I was lucky enough to be there and meet with a number of those stakeholders. It was just fantastic to be in this forum, listening and engaging with these people and talking through all the great initiatives we have put on the table and hearing what they had to say as well.

Again, it is this engagement and this working with these communities and these sectors to make sure we are delivering what they want. We put our commitments out there at the election and I have outlined those, and we will be delivering those in due course.
