MS REILLY (continuing):

It is not just a matter of having good legislation, and strong legal and police powers. We must work towards having increased community education, towards empowering all people within our community to improve the balance of relationships, and ensure that there is a reduction of domestic violence so that women and children within our community can live in safety. I commend this legislation.
