We received 81 written submissions, and 34 of those were delivered in person during the select committee; 57 in general supported and 10 expressly opposed this bill. If I can generalise, the victim statements that we heard were harrowing. We heard firsthand people's experiences of the court system, and, essentially, what we were told was that being cross-examined by defence lawyers was almost unanimously described as the most traumatic aspect of the justice process, with many saying they were unprepared for how distressing that process actually was. One in particular I remember said that they would not have gone through the process had they known how bad it was.
