Hayes JoJO HAYES (National): Thank you Madam Deputy Speaker. As the last speaker for this side of the House I've been sitting listening to all the contributions tonight and I was really surprised at the one that was given by Louisa Wall just before I stood up because there is no way that this side of the House is not sympathetic towards the victims of domestic violence and family violence. The way that the members on the other side of the House are articulating their speeches tonight it's almost like they're misrepresenting this side of the House. Yes we do believe in protecting those victims of domestic violence and of family violence—we do. We want to see them protected as well. What this bill does though is it is almost like attacking a group of people—employers—and the previous speaker spoke about—Louisa Wall: How is it attacking employers? JO HAYES: No just listen. The previous speaker spoke about big employers like Countdown and The Warehouse who actually have got programmes going inside their organisations to work with domestic violence victims and family violence victims and that is great. What we're saying on this side of the House is that small businesses will struggle under this piece of legislation. It's like taking a great big hammer and banging them over the head with it. My colleague Erica Stanford also talked about the ratbag employers and there are those employers out there. With this piece of legislation you'd give them an excuse to actually marginalise those staff members that are victims of domestic violence because they are ratbag employers. I wasn't on the Justice Committee to hear the submissions but the report that came out of the select committee hearings told me that there are a number of employers that come and they do a good job in supporting those victims of domestic violence. We do care on this side. We believe that it should be a broader way of actually addressing the situation not going along and just cherry-picking out various groups of people in the community. What we are saying is actually take a broader look at the whole subject. Don't try and do that and marginalise good employers who do do the work by supporting those victims of domestic violence. Now a lot has actually have gone around this House about that and as I start to wind up my contribution I just want it on Hansard that this side of the House—the National Party side of this House—does support victims of domestic violence. We just want to make sure that the approach is wholesome it is fair and it protects everybody so that people can actually hold their jobs and be helped along the same way but adding an additional 10 days on to current leave entitlements isn't the way. There are other ways and I do ask the Government—[Interruption]DEPUTY SPEAKER: Order! Order! Every member in this House is entitled to their view and they're entitled to have that opportunity to make their view. So just calm—OK? JO HAYES: Thank you Madam Deputy Speaker. I encourage that side of the House—the Government benches—to look at the work that the National Party did around family violence and to adopt the process and the procedures that we laid out in our family violence approach. So without—Hon Maggie Barry: Integrated Safety Response. JO HAYES: That's right. This is not an employment issue. My colleagues have already said that we know whereabouts this issue actually belongs so I implore the Government to have a look. Do not put your blinkers on or your blindfolds on when it comes to this issue because it is too important to let this issue slide away just because people are trying to politic in here. Look at what everybody's contributions are and build a piece of legislation that will address the subject from all points of view from all areas within our society. I cannot support this bill. It is far too narrow.
