" The Minister for Justice, Steven Kons, released figures showing that almost 8500 Tasmanian families were attended to between June 2005 and December last year under the Safe At Home program. Mr Kons said during that period there were more than 12,400 reported incidents of family violence, and nearly 40 per cent of cases involved children. Mr Kons announced the Family Violence Act would be reviewed this year to ensure it was providing the right set of mechanisms to deliver on the principles behind the government’s multi-million dollar investment in Safe at Home.
