23.01.2022 Police records showed the man who shot and killed his two teenage children in a domestic assault in Sydneys northern suburbs had been violent towards or stalked four prior domestic partners and one of his other children. But despite a long history of stalking and assault charges registered on the central police system known as the COPS database, Edwards was able to successfully apply in 2017 for a Commissioners Permit to undergo gun safety training at Hornsby and Ku-ring...-gai gun clubs. On July 5, 2018, Edwards gunned down his two children, Jack and Jennifer, who, with their mother Olga, had fled their fathers violent control to live in a rental property in West Pennant Hills. Something has to change. The current system is allowing DVOS to be breached, dangerous people to obtain gun licences and women, men and children to be killed every week as a result of domestic violence, that could have been avoided. https://www.smh.com.au//so-demonic-so-bad-killer-john-edwa

21.01.2022 A message from Courtney: I am disappointed this conviction was overturned as there was no evidence to indicate that he was aware of any allegation of domestic violence & he claimed he checked whether any order was in place before acting. In deciding not to record a conviction, the Judge took into account the serious nature of the offences; that he had already been disciplined; that he had symptoms of PTSD (what about the impact on the victim?) & his otherwise good charact...er." The victims response: That shows how seriously police take the risk to me, the fact I still spend my life looking over my shoulder, living in fear, How can any victim of domestic violence trust a police officer if they know this police officer can do what he did and not get sacked, Im disgusted, shocked that he has had his conviction not recorded. But it doesnt change the facts of the case and that he pleaded guilty. They cant dispute that he unlawfully accessed the database, and he gave the information to a man from who I was hiding. The fact police still employ him shows they dont care." https://www.theguardian.com//queensland-police-officer-who

15.01.2022 The never before told story of Hannah in the weeks and months leading to her murder and the murder of her children. Please read and share #changetheending... Coercive control is actually a prison for a woman. It’s an entrapment,’’ says Sullivan, senior lecturer in domestic and family violence at Central Queensland University. The floor of that prison is a sense of a belief that ‘I’m superior to a woman, that the man is superior. And therefore, because of that superiority, I own her, she’s my property. And more than that, she’s my sexual property. So, because I own her and she’s my sexual property, the roof of this prison is my sense of entitlement. So I’m entitled to get what I want, when I want, how I want from her, because she’s mine. This is what a relationship is.’ ‘And if I don’t get it, the next layer of that ceiling is I turn adversarial. I turn abusive and violent to make sure I get what I want.’ The bars of that prison are things like intimidation, threats, verbal abuse, micro regulation of her every moment what she wears, who she sees, where she goes, what she spends. Surveillance is a strong part of that, too. ‘I’ll check her phone, I’ll check her computer. I’ll check her workplace to see if she’s meeting anyone.’ I’ve worked with men who’ve installed cameras in their house that she doesn’t know about so that they can check on her during the day.’’ https://amp-smh-com-au.cdn.ampproject.org//intimate-terror

14.01.2022 Thoughtful Friday from Courtney: "To be a good lawyer, the most important quality you MUST have is INFLUENCE. If you cannot influence you cannot persuade your client to engage you, the other solicitor to agree to your offer, or a Judge to accept the orders you are proposing be made on behalf of your client. ... In a family law negotiation setting, not acting on your/ your clients emotional drivers when communicating to the other partys solicitor and "controlling the temperature of the case" is VITAL to being able to resolve the issues, quickly, cost effectively and at the least possible emotional cost. Some ways to keep the temperature down include being respectful of the situation, not going down the path of aggression, and accommodating reasonable requests. When a lawyer is aggressive or abrasive in correspondence to me, I make an effort to respond in the most polite and respectful way. Sometimes unfortunately a solicitor acts as a mouthpiece for their client and they do not filter any instructions given by their client before putting those instructions in correspondence which is long, uses emotive language and is argumentative or aggressive. In those circumstances, I keep my replies brief, factual & to the point. In spite of how a proposal might sound from my perspective I ask questions & make an effort to understand why that is their position which often helps to reduce the temperature in an otherwise boiling hot case." Choose a lawyer who isnt aggressive and who doesnt play into your emotional drivers about the case (or their own emotional drivers). A heated approach is not going to be productive in the short or long term, it will drag out settlement of the matter and it will do much more damage than good to each party in the end.

13.01.2022 There are many myths that exist about asset splitting and property settlement following a separation in Australia. The most common is the myth that when you're in a de facto or married relationship you automatically get 50% of the other party's assets. The reality is that your entitlements depend on the history of your particular relationship and the individual facts and circumstances of your case....

11.01.2022 COERCIVE CONTROL - the most insideous and covert form of abuse that few understand the gravity of how it can and does impact on a victim's mental health. "I remember being in the midst of hard labour with my daughter. I had hardly spoken but while experiencing the most intense physical pain of my life I managed to say I need ice. His response was, say please. "This change in law is important so that we have the ability in horrific cases to be able to prosecute abusers. H...owever, its impact is also broader than that. We are asking for a wider change; education for police, the judicial system, front line services, and our whole community. Giving victims a way to name this behaviour is important. We also need to be able to deliver a clear message to every single person in our community that this behaviour, and the abuse of power and control in relationships, is completely unacceptable; it is criminal." https://www.mamamia.com.au/coercive-control/

08.01.2022 Is Superannuation included in a property settlement? Superannuation splitting is a common consequence of a relationship breakdown. When a marriage or de facto relationship breaks down the property each party owns can be divided between the parties.... Superannuation is treated as property under the Family Law Act 1975 and forms part of the pool to be split with your former partner/spouse.

05.01.2022 About one in four women, compared to one in 13 men, has experienced violence by an intimate partner and around one in five women has experienced sexual violence. On average, one woman is murdered in Australia each week by a current or former partner. "Legal responses to violence against women and their children must recognise the ongoing challenges women face when seeking support. The fear of not being believed is a significant barrier for women in accessing justice. The most... recent National Community Attitudes towards Violence against Women Survey found that around 40% of people believe women lie about, or exaggerate, reports of violence as a means of revenge or to gain tactical advantage in their relationships with men. There is no evidence to support this belief. In contrast, extensive research confirms the difficulties victims of domestic and family violence encounter when disclosing their experience to authorities; including fear of not being believed, and fear that disclosure will increase the risk of violence to them or their children." https://www.qlsproctor.com.au//violence-against-women-ine/

02.01.2022 ANOTHER WOMAN MURDERED BY HER DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PERPETRATOR Lynda Greenwood was arriving home late on Monday night when her former partner, Jason Lloyd, subject to an AVO and on a corrective services order, jumped out of the bushes and stabbed her in the neck. Neighbours heard what sounded like a baby screaming and contacted police and emergency services, but sadly at around 12.30am on Tuesday she died at the scene from her extensive upper boddy injuries. What the police have... to say: "I can confirm that the male and female were involved in an on-and-off-again relationship over the last two years, and I can confirm that there was a current AVO in place for the deceased female against this 39-year-old male until 2021," it is understood that domestic incidents had been recorded between the pair in 2019, but none had been recorded for this year. The man was also on a corrective services order. Something needs to change... if a person cannot feel safe after securing a dvo/avo against his or her former partner, they are useless and victims will not apply for an order because of fear of the consequences for their safety and their children’s safety.
