NSW government to introduce new DV policies in response to rise in violence against women

The New South Wales government will introduce new domestic and family violence policies in coming days in a bid to address the rise of violent crime against women. Acting Premier Prue Car alongside key government ministers met prominent advocates ahead of yesterday's announcement. The state government says the new initiative will focus on medium and long-term solutions. “We need action right now,” NSW Deputy Premier Prue Car said in a press conference. “We need to assess that in terms of what do we need to do in the immediate, medium, and long term.”
