Coalition’s $90m package to combat domestic violence pledges to create national offender register

The Coalition government has proposed measures to combat domestic abuse by criminalizing threatening behavior through mobile phones and establishing a national register for violence offenders. Opponent leader Peter Dutton will unveil an $90 million package under a 10-year strategy targeting women and children, highlighting his personal experience with domestic violence. While the Coalition aims to end family violence, critics argue it lacks urgency compared to Labor's targeted initiatives, such as ankle bracelets and early intervention programs. Additionally, Dutton announced a $750 million plan focusing on drugs and thugs in the final weeks of the campaign.
