Amid growing concerns over public safety and domestic violence in Australia, National Legal Aid has requested a $300 million funding increase to enhance protection for women. Concurrently, Domestic Violence NSW CEO Delia Donovan has advocated for an immediate $145 million package to bolster domestic and family violence services. This comes in the wake of a violent home invasion in Perth, allegedly perpetrated by a recently released immigration detainee, intensifying scrutiny on Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's administration. The incident, involving the bashing of Perth grandmother Ninette Simons, has prompted calls from the opposition for Albanese to take stronger measures, including the potential implementation of preventative detention orders.
