I turn to Jade’s law. The Minister said again that an automatic restriction is not intended as a punishment. Again, the burden here is upon the victim—the nearly murdered parent. Going beyond that, all the amendments in this group address the burden of the other parent having to take on the family court system at a time when they have been through a really traumatic period after the investigation, the court proceedings and the conviction of their other half for a very serious offence. We need to find a way to crack that.
