The media, and government, have jumped on the fact that one woman died in the hands of her abusive partner, using her as the excuse to put in new law, not focusing on the factual failure of the judiciary.
Women have been dying in the hands of their abusive partners for quite some time in Australia, where in reality nothing has been done about it for decades, irrespective of what the (alleged) statistics may show today, hence creating an alleged urgency.
In the Northern Territory or Western Australia, there have been MANY deaths of Indigenous Australians for decades, but there's no outcry or new 'law', is there?
So why the change now?
What is the real agenda behind the new move?
Because, we currently do have a legal system that is equipped to handle ‘criminal’ activity such as abuse, but the real problem lies within the judiciary.
Not only in the case of abusive spouses, but also criminal activities by teenagers, magistrates and judges are complacent, and let out the offenders, where realistically they should be incarcerated (maybe the judges too?), and not let out into the community.
The real ‘failure of government’ is on the judge that let out that criminal that was on bail or temporarily incarcerated, for the purpose of being a repeat ‘customer’ for the legal business, being a 'win' for the courts and legal business from a financial perspective.
Remembering that courts act for the benefit of their 'stakeholders', that being banks and financial institutions like BlackRock or Vanguard.
The Courts function under the modus operandi to:
"Develop, maintain, and enhance key relationships with internal and external stakeholders to influence decision making processes and outcomes critical to the success of MCV, including court staff and judiciary, Court Services Victoria, and other Victorian government departments."
See document originating from the Magistrates' Court of Victoria withing the article:
Noting that the Court must operate solely in The Crown in Right of the State (e.g. Victoria).
