    Thursday, 22 October 2020 Legislative Assembly- PROOF Page 1 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Thursday, 22 October 2020 The Speaker (The Hon. Jonathan Richard O'Dea) took the chair at 09:30. The Speaker read the prayer and acknowledgement of country. Announcements THOUGHT LEADERSHIP BREAKFAST The SPEAKER: I inform the House that we had two outstanding leaders of Indigenous heritage at our Thought Leadership breakfast this morning. I thank all those members who attended that event. In particular I thank our guest speakers: Tanya Denning-Allman, the director of Indigenous content at SBS, and Benson Saulo, the incoming Consul-General to the United States, based in Houston. I thank both of them and note we will have another event in November. [Notices of motions given.] Bills STRONGER COMMUNITIES LEGISLATION AMENDMENT (DOMESTIC VIOLENCE) BILL 2020 First Reading Bill introduced on motion by Mr Mark Speakman, read a first time and printed. Second Reading Speech Mr MARK SPEAKMAN (Cronulla—Attorney General, and Minister for the Prevention of Domestic Violence) (09:46:44): I move: That this bill be now read a second time. The Stronger Communities Legislation Amendment (Domestic Violence) Bill 2020 introduces amendments to support procedural improvements and to close gaps in the law that have become apparent. Courts can be a daunting place for victims of domestic and family violence. The processes can be overwhelming. Domestic violence is a complex crime like no other because of the intimate relationships between perpetrators and victims. Those close personal connections intertwine complainants and defendants in ways that maintain a callous grip on victims. This grip can silence reports of abuse, delay reports when victims are brave enough to come forward, and intimidate victims to discontinue cooperating with prosecutions.
