National Cabinet moves forward with plan to end violence against women

Prime Minister Scott Morrison says the 50th meeting of the National Cabinet addressed women’s economic security, physical safety, and ending violence against women. “Our government put in a significant women’s economic security package at the last federal budget, in fact, the last several budgets, and indeed, also a very significant women’s safety package,” Mr Morrison said. “We are now moving forward then to work on the national plan to end violence against women – a very successful program in its previous iteration, and those gatherings will be going ahead very soon, and all states and territories will be engaging with those.”
