Hon KIRITAPU ALLAN (Minister of Justice): Victims, as I've said in this House, are a priority for our Government, which is why I'm pleased that Budget 2022 made long-overdue investments both for victims and for access to justice, including $41.5 million to cover the costs of existing demand for legal-aid services, $45.7 million across the justice sector towards improving outcomes for victims of crime, $12.3 million for assistance grants to victims of crime, providing for an additional 7,200 financial grants per year, and $148.7 million to address core issues limiting access to legal aid by raising income eligibility thresholds, debt-repayment thresholds, civil and family eligibility thresholds, removing the legal-aid user charge, and increasing the hourly rate paid to legal-aid providers.
