Comments and speeches from various members
Greens spokesperson for Prevention of Family and Domestic Violence (FDV) Hon Alison Xamon MLC has today called on the Government to ensure people experiencing FDV have access to support services, as the country grapples with the COVID-19 crisis.
Ms Xamon said it was crucial providers were adequately resourced to continue to provide support in these trying times. The call comes amid feedback of additional calls for support from individuals following self-isolation and the pressures of job losses and financial uncertainty.
