Tanya gets to have a little crack at the Budget, you get to post drivel as informed commentary, everyone’s happy. While I’m on it, maybe you can tell me what the ALP means by this?

“a national plan to stop violence against women and children.”

I thought that was the role of state law enforcement agencies and the various domestic violence acts currently legislated by state ALP governments. Now, you want a “national” plan, is that right? So, what do we do with all of those state employed social workers, psychologists, welfare agencies, aid agencies, police forces, community service agencies and so on? Duplicate this bureaucratic debacle at the federal level. Good work. Don’t solve the problem with existing resources, let’s move the chairs around and pretend it’s effective action.

And your informed position on this ALP policy would be WHAT exactly?
