25.01.2022 LETS STOP ALWAYS BLAMING THE DAD & OBSERVE THAT MUM I wish I could add a females face to this meme. I know of far too many women who are the abusers now days. They may not physically hurt their children but they most definitely verbally abuse their children. ... This behaviour is not ok. They are destroying their children. The children go to school or are seen in social circles circumstances and observed as ‘naughty kids or troubled kids’. How about we observe that mother and blame her for that child’s behaviour? Stop blaming children and stop blaming the Dad. #ObserveTheMother #NotAllDadsAreAbusive #SomeMumsAreTheAbusers
25.01.2022 The DVINA CENTRE is open until 17.00hrs today. We have our first Men’s group today between 12noon & 14.00hrs but you can feel free to shop & speak to Val if you need help regarding DV or Family abuse. https://www.facebook.com/HRHSolution
25.01.2022 This has been a long time coming. We managed to open two DVINA Inc Havens for both genders that are escaping Family Abuse & DV and on the 14th Oct we are holding our grand opening to our DVINA Centre. We are super excited and to have done this without funding & we know we can continue to grow and help many more that are left silent!!!! DVINA Inc Team
25.01.2022 Not all parents abuse their children. Never use a child as a pawn in your vindictive punishment toward the other parent. You as a parent don’t own your child. They are a blessing and must be treated that way. ... Milli
24.01.2022 I grew up in chaos. My parents were drug addicts and alcoholics. I never met my real father. At 4 my mother cut my finger off. We were constantly in poverty an...d homeless. Our family was the most poor family in school. If you are familiar with the ACE study. My score is 10. I struggled with pretty much everything from abuse in the home to being bullied at school and a great deal of trouble learning and staying focused. Whatever normal was felt a million miles away. During this time the things that happened were pretty much the most vile things that a human can imagine. Most of which I think of as these pivotal moments of realizing that my parents were doing the same thing that was done to them- hurting people. Have I got help? Yes. I have done ALLLLL of the work. With medication I tried a couple of different anxiety meds in my late 20’s but found that they made me numb. My life now is exactly what I want. Routine and self-awareness is so crucial that it comes before everything else in my life. It is a must. Then I factor in personal responsibility and mindset. Ultimately I am the only who controls the outcome of my life. To another man struggling I would say- Today is not over. Tomorrow has not yet happened. We can’t change yesterday. What we can do is keep moving forward. Life is hard, I will never argue that but once you step into understanding how to be the hero of your own story everything changes. https://linktr.ee/michaelunbroken @michaelunbroken

22.01.2022 Our men and women have been to hell on earth and now treated like war criminals by our Govt & morons behind desks!! What’s funny though is if Australia was suddenly attacked it would be the same idiots asking our brave soldiers to protect our country. Go after both genders that that have and still do abuse & murder their loved ones. Spend the time & recourses making sure they do time in prison & once there never released. ... Our soldiers whom are left with severe PTSD are a drain on the govt. our perps of DV are revenue. #NotRocketScience

20.01.2022 This is 34-year-old Aysha Baty. Yesterday, a man Aysha knows, allegedly beat her to death in the middle of a street in Nambour, Queensland. Aysha is the 42nd A...ustralian woman killed this year. 19 children and 93 men have also been lost to murder or manslaughter in 2020 (see end note for data info). I'm always really angry and sad at the loss of lives to violence but Aysha's death hits harder because she was brutalised just 20 minutes from my own home, in a suburb I know well. A place where the sun shines, the people are friendly and the soul of the community radiates across all who live there. From time to Aysha lived rough but she was adored by all who knew her. "She had a great mother, her mother loved her dearly and she supported her every way she knew how," one of the support workers who helped Aysha told a media outlet. "Because it is so dangerous on the street, homeless people form a family, and she had a street family too, and they all loved her. "She would come and attend our street feeds, lunches, we'd sometimes do welfare checks on her and her friends "One time she just jumped up and gave me this lovely kiss on the cheek and thanked me for everything I'd done for her. "All of yesterday I could still feel that warm kiss on my cheek. It was beautiful lovely girl, she's going to be sadly missed." Aysha suffered extreme trauma in her last moments. Police believe her killer used a multitude of weapons - including a bat and a knife - to assault her so savagely that she was left with catastrophic head and chest injuries. I've been documenting lives lost to violence for five years and I think it is fair to say that Aysha's suffering is amongst the worst. That is not to say that any one murdered person fades silently into the night, but sometimes the brutality against a victim can be so drawn out, so militant and horrific, that it is hard to quantify the pain suffered before that final breathe is taken. It's just so disturbing to know that there are men in our community who have such hatred towards women, that they would exert extreme physical energy on inflicting the kind of wounds you expect only to see following a fall from a great height or a high speed car crash. The person who ended Aysha's life did so in a public setting and in front of at least one witness who contacted police when they saw him assaulting her. Despite the best attempts of police and paramedics, Aysha could not be saved. It needs to be said - and yes I do say this a lot - male violence is a massive problem in Australia. Just this year, 166 males are suspected of killing others compared to just 20 women. I'm not saying every man is violent but I am saying if you have the potential to harm, do something about it - DON'T BE THIS MAN!' RIP AYSHA BATY! **Please note: I count ALL murders and manslaughters regardless of perpetrator or the victim gender and regardless of the relationship between them. In others words, not all of these deaths are due to domestic violence. They also include stranger and associate violence.

12.01.2022 Our soldiers are not killing machines. The murders that need to be questioned are those behind closed doors!!! I was beaten to the inch of my life by a former RAAF man and partner of 18months. It was me that was regarded as the weapon. It was me left with a broken jaw, nose, cheek and fractured scull. The media need to wake up and question the true criminals. As a former soldier based at 5th Aviation Regiment Townsville. I’m frustrated that our our soldiers are up f...or questioning regarding putting their life on the line. I’ve had mates the returned from Rwanda & Afghan that took their lives because they couldn’t stop hearing the children screaming. Civi’s have no idea of the atrocities soldiers have seen & what they’ve had to do to keep themselves alive. The Aussie soldiers were subjected to horrific conditions over there. So was it the same as our soldiers in Somalia and Rwanda fighting an enemy that was unidentified until they started shooting then expect our people to come home and be normal ??? Aligations have to be investigated but that is upto the department of defence not the media and if our soldiers were found to be making decisions on the ground that are in dispute well the government needs to held accountable as well soldiers were doing tour after tour in a fight that Just maybe we should have pulled out of considering the countries were going to have never known peace and never will Just my thoughts and as for the former commander of those force's that has spoken well said and to bring light to defence inadequacys of care on returned vet's and bring light to the care we've received has been from each other. Veteran suicides rests on the government's head and the department of vet affairs too many good Australian soldiers have taken they're lives enough is enough. Leave our soldiers alone and start concentrating on the parents that are murdered by loved ones behind closed doors. That’s Australia’s true crime!!!!

12.01.2022 This can’t be ignored. This is abuse that many men suffer. Women need to stop using children as pawns in their vindictive games. There are so many great Dads left hurt & suffering because they are denied their rights as Fathers. ... The abuse left by the financial struggle fathers have to deal with is deplorable. We must stand up and help the Dads that are left suffering. #ParentsDontOwnTheirChildren #ChildrenAreBlessings Milli
11.01.2022 I come across this on fb this morning and all the comments were disgusting. If this was Ken (barbie) having allegedly decapitated Barbie there would be an uproar. Why do so many women think it’s ok to make a meme like this and find it funny? Your thoughts??... Milli

08.01.2022 Inquiry into Family, Domestic Violence and Sexual Result. Below are our recommendations (19), once published on the parliament website we will provide a copy to... the women whose statements are included, and make it available for all. We hope we have done you proud and now off to lobbying the Committee members. The Safety Net: Let it Work 1. Maintain the much welcome and critical Coronavirus Supplement at $550 per fortnight beyond 24th September 2020. It is not too late to reverse this decision. Unfortunately, the second wave and hot spots provide this impetus. A change in policy would reflect the change in circumstance. 2. Extend the Coronavirus Supplement to single mother households in receipt of Disability Support Pension, Carers Payment, Carers Allowance and Women in receipt of temporary visas. This would immediately provide relief to struggling families and directly reach families who have escaped violence or need to leave but access to financial recourses is a barrier. A profound investment. 3. Provide an exemption to the parenting payment single for women affected by family and domestic violence. Current exemptions and precedents already exist but unwisely not for domestic violence. This would enable the retainment of the current level of payment and an exemption from mutual obligations, a sensible outcome. 4. Include Poverty as priority within the National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children Seeking and staying safe costs money, a lack of financial resources can be an outcome of abuse as well as a strategy that prohibits women from leaving. Furthermore, it forces them to return to the place of abuse into the hands of their abuser. 5. Remove the income declaration for the current and next financial year which can result in a debt to the government. Noting the heightened turbulence of income estimation during this period and the increase in family and domestic violence. 6. Eligibility for the crisis payment is problematic and access is low. The current 7-day time-frame is completely out-of-step of the reality of priorities to reporting domestic violence to Services Australia, a 21-day time-frame would be more reasonable. Furthermore, it needs to be accessible for women leaving and or fleeing violent circumstances. The amount, which is the current income support payment is inadequate. We recommend a ‘domestic violence payment’ that has additional amounts for children. Signifying to the Australian community that Services Australia is a place to report domestic violence and that assistance can be provided. Safety Net: It is time to know 7. The Productivity Commission to undertake a review that seeks to understand the immediate, medium, and long-term economic consequences for those who have being affected by family and domestic violence. The benefit of the Coronavirus Supplement was instructive and illustrated how an adequate safety net changes and saves lives. The Australian Social Security system needs to provide a safety net beyond the supplement. The current system results in a life of poverty with hardship, homelessness and deprivation being the hallmarks of retirement. Financial Abuse: $1.6B Child Support Debt 8. Close the loopholes that enable 200+ Australians to avoid and minimise their taxation and child support obligations through the non-lodging of tax returns. Thus, fulfilling their responsibility to the 1.2 million children in the scheme. Non-compliance is pattern that is premised upon financial abuse and control whilst the lived effect is minimised, and volatile payments are normalised. Most payees are women, the primary carer and with low incomes. 9. Decoupled child-support from FTB (A) by excluding child-support income in FTB (A) calculations to compensate for the volatile and reduced child support payments always present but highlighted by COVID 19. No compliance is a calculated behaviour that is premised upon financial abuse and control with the aim to leave the payer, mostly low-income women, with a family payment debt whilst no guarantee of payments. See report by Swinburne University, Debts and Disappointment: Mothers' Experiences of the Child Support System. 10. Elevate child support for it to be considered within parenting deliberations and available before the mediators and decision makers in the Courts. Furthermore, child support debt and or payment should be included in credit ratings. 11. Provide women with a choice to enter a State Guarantee Payment as an alternative to not receiving seeking child support due to safety concerns. Currently the system perversely awards the perpetrator of violence as they do not have to contribute. This outcome for some women will remain preferable but other options, with the support of women, should be trialled. The non-collection was and remains the only strategy to mitigate and manage family and domestic violence with the Child Support Scheme. 12. Reconvene the Child Support National Stakeholder Engagement Group. A national group that brought together Government and Non-Government organisations that focused upon matters and needs for families in post-separation with a key focus on child support. It is essential as it is one of the more emotive and complex pieces of legislation. 13. Extend access to superannuation held by the payer where child-support debt has been substantiated by Services Australia. Superannuation has become a haven to ‘hide’ money and not pay child support. Furthermore, allow early access to superannuation for women who need to offset reduce child support payments with similar thresholds of 15%. We make this recommendation understanding the long-term implications but whilst the income support remains inadequate, a child support debt is $1.6 Billion other strategies are required. 14. Implement the Women’s Economic Security Statement (2018) for women, most pivotal providing Courts with access to the Australian Tax Office enabling full disclosure of Superannuation Funds to inform property settlements. Family and Domestic Violence: A hand-up changes the fabric of lives 15. Maintain free child-care for Australians who are eligible for the FTB. Providing access to childcare for families who are reconfiguring a new life and managing all the elements that are part of that process. Universal childcare has a raft of benefits including early education and socialisation in a safe and nurturing age appropriate environment. 16. Remove compliance and suspension within the ParentsNext program. It is currently halted, and it should never resume. The poor, inconstant and the need to attend when affected by domestic violence is more aligned to retraumatised than assistance. NCSMC points to a unanimous concern at the Senate Inquiry including human rights and that the evaluation of the program never included the Targeted Compliance Framework (TCF), rending the evaluation as flawed. Essentially participants of a pre-vocational program with babies and incredibly young children can and have had their payments suspended. Spiralling families into hardship. 17. Engagement to replace suspension and compliance within the job network especially at this current time. Undertake a full review to examine why exemptions granted on the grounds of family and domestic violence is never commiserate with the nationwide figures. Court & Safety 18. Replicate the current ‘Family Court list dedicated to COVID-19’ for parenting issues and use this model for all women affected by family and domestic violence. An initiative has the potential to keep families and children safer, its more affordable, it is more accessible, attendance is safer and with appropriate screening processes it can be equipped to manage family and domestic violence as well as litigation abuse. Seeking safety should not be a spiral into financial hardship or features in the lives of separated parents for years, even decades post separation. It is disproportional burden to manage when combined with the sole parenting and in the context of family and domestic violence. 19. Pass the Family Law Amendment (A Step Towards a Safer Family Law System) Bill 2020. We must amend the Family Law Act 1975 to remove provisions relating to the presumption of equal shared parental responsibility making parenting orders and grant primacy to safety for children. The recommendation reflects A better family law system to support and protect those affected by family violence, and the 2019 Australian Law Reform Commission report Family Law for the Future - An Inquiry into the Family Law System.

02.01.2022 Do you know of any grants that are beneficial at the moment? Without funding a NFP business is hard core!! I refuse to be paid to help those abused, suffering DV, family abuse, mental health or those suffering with PTSD. The DVINA CENTRE is doing awesome and those funds will help with our Men’s group, art therapy with children and the day to day costs keeping the centre open. I have 20 of us that volunteer in our centre and they do it with passion just like mine and I’m s...o grateful but some outside help would be bloody amazing!!!! If you know of any awesome grants out here pls tag me in one or 20
01.01.2022 I don’t want to read any excuses for either of these disgusting animals.
