Given that there is now a focus on domestic and family violence prevention (and a little bit of money with it) where was this focus at the beginning of the campaign?

Today’s mini-campaign announcement is: A re-elected Albanese Labor Government will provide $20 million to establish The Coast Women’s and Children’s Trauma Recovery Centre in East Gosford.
 
The new frontline domestic, family and sexual violence service will help up to 500 women and children to recover from violence and abuse and will provide much needed crisis and transitional accommodation.
 
The community-led initiative will offer a wrap around, trauma-sensitive approach to support recovery from domestic, family and sexual violence trauma – with a focus on working with children to help break the cycle of violence.
 
This election commitment builds on our major investments of over $1.2 billion in crisis and transitional accommodation.

Albanese:

We have been, focused on this for three years. We have announcements in every Budget. Our Housing Australia Future Fund announced probably five years ago – or at least four years ago. We haven’t waited on this, we haven’t waited on this. I announced the 500 community service workers to deal with the issues on violence against women and children. I announced that in Queanbeyan. You can look up your files with Linda Burney. I am sure it was at least in 2021 four years ago.
