‘Wrong Direction’: Warning on Grim Trend

  • Premier Chris Minns announced a $500 million funding package on Monday to support domestic violence victim-survivors and justice services in NSW over five years.
  • The package follows rising domestic violence rates, a near-record prison population increased by 1,000 inmates, and concerns that much funding may be a continuation rather than new investment.
  • The package includes $227 million for victim support services, $49 million to establish a victims’ legal hub, $48 million for additional prosecutors, and $34 million to upgrade court facilities.
  • Premier Minns characterized the funding as a tangible financial commitment from the government, while leaders expressed approval of the new five-year contracts but raised concerns about ongoing waitlists and inadequate increases to core funding.
  • The announcement aims to improve justice system responses and community safety, though experts warn addressing high waitlists and service underfunding remains urgent for lasting reform.
