Victorian Member of Parliament Rachel Payne is calling on the Allan government to set-up a taskforce to tackle family violence in Melbourne’s South-East, given the area has the highest rates in the state.
Rachel asked if the government would establish a taskforce dedicated to addressing family violence. As several south-eastern suburbs have some of the highest rates of family violence in the metropolitan area, Rachel continues to seek government action on this epidemic.
Rachel presented her contribution to a motion which proposed the legal use of capsicum spray for personal protection.
Rachel Payne MP presented an adjournment matter to the Minister for Prevention of Family Violence. Rachel called on the minister to work with the Attorney-General in reviewing the efficacy of these laws to protect victim-survivors.
“I’m ‘getting explicit’ for my Grandmother Doll and my Mum Julie, who have been directly impacted by family violence and the ongoing impacts of trauma and abuse.”
