Constituency question to the Attorney General

Tania Maxwell

2 Aug 2022

Member for Northern Victoria Tania Maxwell asked the below constituency question to the Attorney General (Hon. Jaclyn Symes MP) on behalf of Conor Pall.



My constituency question is to the Attorney General (Hon. Jaclyn Symes MP) on behalf of Conor Pall. Conor wrote to the Attorney in January and received a response from the Department (of Justice) this week.


Conor and his family spent months getting a final intervention order in place to protect himself, his mother and his younger brother.


After 14 adjournments this was granted three months before Conor’s eighteenth birthday. Once he turned 18, after a breach, he discovered there was a special condition that removed him from the family order and he had to begin the long and traumatic process again to obtain a fresh order – all while trying to complete his year 12 VCE studies.


Intervention orders made as a family order automatically transition to an individual order once an affected family member turns 18, unless they choose to apply for its removal. So I ask the Attorney-General, what will the government do to reduce this burden and stress from the plates of a young survivor like Conor?

MANAGEMENT& MEDIA

I acknowledge the Traditional owners of the lands on which I work and live. I pay my respects to Elders past and present, and acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders as the first people. They have never ceded sovereignty, and remain strong in their enduring connection to land, water and culture.
