In Queensland, where one quarter of such deaths nationally take place, Dame Quentin Bryce's "Not Now, Not Ever" report was delivered in 2015, recommendations from which have come into force as part of the Government's Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Strategy.

This annotated legislation is combined with a contextual introduction to offer a single resource for legal practitioners working in criminal, family and children's law practice, including Legal Aid, as well as for police prosecutors and magistrates.

Book excerpt: Domestic abuse is a national emergency: one in four Australian women has experienced violence from a man she was intimate with. But too often we ask the wrong question: why didn’t she leave? We should be asking: why did he do it? Investigative journalist Jess Hill puts perpetrators – and the systems that enable them – in the spotlight. See What You Made Me Do is a deep dive into the abuse so many women and children experience – abuse that is often reinforced by the justice system they trust to protect them. Critically, it shows that we can drastically reduce domestic violence – not in generations to come, but today. Combining forensic research with riveting storytelling, See What You Made Me Do radically rethinks how to confront the national crisis of fear and abuse in our homes. ‘A shattering book: clear-headed and meticulous, driving always at the truth’—Helen Garner ‘One Australian a week is dying as a result of domestic abuse. If that was terrorism, we’d have armed guards on every corner.’ —Jimmy Barnes ‘Confronting in its honesty this book challenges you to keep reading no matter how uncomfortable it is to face the profound rawness of people’s stories. Such a well written book and so well researched. See What You Made Me Do sheds new light on this complex issue that affects so many of us.’—Rosie Batty
Download or read book Improving Responses to Family Violence in the Family Law System written by Australia. Family Law Council and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2008, the Family Law Council was asked by the Attorney-General to provide advice on improving the coordination between the family law and the State and Territory family violence systems, with particular emphasis on court related services. The Council examined how the family law system could better identify and address allegations of family violence and how related authorities could share information and assessments. This report presents their advice, which includes recommendations addressing community education on domestic violence and parenting rights under the law, professional training on assessment and procedures, and interagency collaboration between courts, state and territory child protection agencies, and other related bodies. The report discusses: the impacts of family violence on children and parenting; definitions of family violence; family violence and specific issues, such as health and culture; the role of the Commonwealth Government; the need for a common understanding that is evidence based; the jurisdictional framework impacting on family violence and child abuse; adducing evidence in court; communication between States, Territories and Federal authorities; and a framework for legislative reform.
Download or read book Response to Family Law Council Discussion Paper Families with Complex Needs and the Intersection of the Family Law and Child Protection Systems written by Women's Legal Services Australia and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Australian Attorney-General has asked the Family Law Council to inquire into families with complex needs and the intersection of the family law and child protection systems, and has invited public feedback. This submission, by the Women's Legal Services Australia, argues that family law courts are largely domestic violence courts involving families with high levels of vulnerability and safety concerns. A particular issue is victims of domestic violence of being personally cross examined by their abusers in family law proceedings or having to personally cross examine their former partner. It presents findings from a 2015 survey of 270 women accessing legal services regarding experience of family violence, types of violence experienced, use of legal representation in court, settlement prior to trial, whether prospect of personal cross examination by their ex-partner was a factor in their decision to settle, number of children, and the impact of being personally cross-examined. The findings highlight how the system is contributing to negative mental health outcomes, and supports WLSA's arguments for more detailed legislation and decision-making steps concerning vulnerability of witnesses.

Download or read book Broken written by Camilla Nelson and published by Black Inc.. This book was released on 2021-08-31 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A devastating account of how Australia’s family courts fail children, families and victims of domestic abuse The family courts intimately affect the lives of those who come before them. Judges can decide where you are allowed to live and work, which school your child can attend and whether you are even permitted to see your child. Lawyers can interrogate every aspect of your personal life during cross-examination, and argue whether or not you are fit to be a parent. Broken explores the complexities and failures of Australia’s family courts through the stories of children and parents whose lives have been shattered by them. Camilla Nelson and Catharine Lumby take the reader into the back rooms of the system to show what it feels like to be caught up in spirals of abusive litigation. They reveal how the courts have been politicised by Pauline Hanson and men’s rights groups, and how those they are meant to protect most – children – are silenced or treated as property. Exploring the legal culture, gender politics and financial incentives that drive the system, Broken reveals how the family courts – despite the high ideals on which they were founded – have turned into the worst possible place for vulnerable families and children. Camilla Nelson is an associate professor in media at the University of Notre Dame Australia. A former Walkley Award winner, her writing has appeared in The Conversation, The Independent, Guardian Australia, Mamamia, Marie Claire and the ABC. Broken is her fifth book. Catharine Lumby is a media professor at the University of Sydney. She has a law degree, is the author of six books and has written for The Guardian, The Sydney Morning Herald, ABC-TV and The Bulletin. 'What happens to kids in our family law system should be a national scandal – and yet, so few people know about it. This book finally lifts the lid on this broken system, and shows how this once-great institution now regularly orders children to see or live with dangerous parents, and bankrupts the victim-parents trying to protect them. An urgent call to action.'—Jess Hill, author of See What You Made Me Do 'This searing review of Australia’s family court system is in turns heartbreaking and enraging. Drawing on recent cases and interviews, it shows how family violence continues to be misunderstood and how violent perpetrators are able to manipulate the legal system. It reveals that too often children are not heard, sometimes with devastating outcomes. This book is an urgent appeal: we must do better.'—Professor Heather Douglas, author of Women, Intimate Partner Violence and the Law
