Good

The government has decided to restore the funding it cut from women's refuges and rape crisis centres. But note the problem: its only for two years. Meaning in two years time we'll be seeing the entire system fall apart again.

Still, this does give Parliament time to complete its inquiry into sexual violence services. And hopefully they'll admit the obvious: that this is a vital social service which should be permanently funded by government.
