The Hon. K.A. HILDYARD (Reynell—Minister for Child Protection, Minister for Women and the Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:15): To return to the substance of the question, I am not sure whether the chamber heard, amongst the cacophony of noise affronting me from the other side of the chamber when I was speaking about domestic violence, that one of the other matters that I have kept the Premier informed of is the consultations that I have been undertaking in relation to the criminalisation of coercive control.

One of those consultations occurred just on Monday this week, and that was a consultation facilitated by the Multicultural Communities Council, which brought together women from diverse multicultural communities to share detail about their views of the criminalisation of coercive control and exactly how that would impact them and their families and to share their views on that.
