AAP has the latest on the Coalition’s domestic violence response (the Coalition refuses to put us on their list so we are often playing catch up with the releases, but what can you do?)

Using a mobile phone or computer to harm intimate partners would be made illegal under new domestic violence offences proposed by Peter Dutton in an election pledge.

The opposition leader on Thursday will announce the coalition will commit an extra $90 million to address the scourge of domestic violence, if it wins the May 3 election.

It would build on the national plan to end violence against women and children within the decade by implementing measures focused on prevention, early intervention and crisis response.

The proposed offences would criminalise the tracking of victims or coercing them through the use of the devices, and would attract tough bail laws.

Mobile phones would be recycled so victim-survivors cannot be tracked or further harassed.

A national register allowing police across the country and other authorities to access and share information about a person’s previous family violence convictions to better manage risk would be set up.

The plan includes specialist early behavioural intervention programs and stronger monitoring
