Domestic Violence

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:38): I have a supplementary question arising out of the minister's response that there will be an all-of-government response: does she anticipate that, in future, information about any convicted violent offender may well be relayed to some of the agencies relating to the Office for Women and the projects that they undertake to try and better protect women and children?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (14:38): I thank the member for her question. What this government seeks to do is to ensure that all relevant and available information is made available in the most timely way possible, and we seek to work to those ends. There are obviously a range of very complex issues surrounding that, but that is our aim.
