Victims of sexual assault will have greater legal protection with the help of a new law aimed at giving children and adults better support in the courts.
The bill, which the government plans to introduce before the election, will provide the courts with greater powers to stop litigation abuse.
It will also clarify the process of lifting name suppression in the criminal court and minimise the risk of child sexual assault victims being questioned about consent.
Separately , three pilot programmes will soon be launched to help victims of serious crime navigate the court system and strengthen support for child victims.
Women's Refuge Chief executive Ang Jury spoke to Katie Scotcher.
