NITV News - Legal centre expects cuts amid govt anti-domestic violence policy

Published
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has made his first major policy announcement: a 100 million dollar package to tackle family violence. It's an issue which affects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women at least twice as much as other Australians. Can this new funding help legal centres which had funding cut under the previous government? NITV News asked domestic violence workers how it would help. And if you're affected by domestic violence, call 1800 RESPECT - that's 1800 737 732.
