I think some of the challenges with the integrated courts that we heard from survivors were that if you happened to get a judge who didn't understand the complexities of gender-based violence and didn't understand the power and control dynamics in one court, and then that judge also had jurisdiction over you in the criminal court, it meant that your ability to get impartiality was compromised at both sides. That system was a good idea, but the way it rolled out had some really complex ramifications.
In terms of what the federal government can do, there needs to be a lot more consultation with survivors around the nuances of their experiences, because it isn't a one-system-fixes-everything type of scenario. You need to have a really good understanding of all the experiences that survivors are going through, and then contextualize that as they navigate the criminal legal system as well as the family courts.
Family courts are fraught with danger at every turn. They're fraught with inconsistencies that actually put women at more risk, so I think there's a call for more consultations with survivors.
