>Who on this forum thinks it is ok for an estranged partner to bash or kill a woman after the courts grant her custody of her kids, for whatever reason? Why wouldn't these cowards go after the police or court officials who presided over these decisions, rather >than their 'loved ones'? Because they are gutless thugs...

Now now drama queen.

would it not be better to understand the processes involved and then be able to take preventative measures?

Death by domestic violence, it the lowest cause of death for Australian women. Women are far more likely to die from other causes such as breast cancer, heart attack, ovarian cancer, lung cancer, leukaemia, brain tumours, strokes.

Motor vehicle accidents, and suicide.

If fact more women die in a month from suicide, than are murdered in a whole year.

Suzie there is an elephant in the room,

Firstly perceptions are not facts

This is I think the real reason that Feminist like Suzie do not want the actions of the so called victim examined

"How can we prevent Intimate Partner Violence and injury to women? IPV researcher Deborah Capaldi, Ph.D., a social scientist at the Oregon Social Learning Center, finds that the best way for women to be safe is to not initiate violence against their male partners. According to Dr. Capaldi, “The question of initiation of violence is a crucial one... much IPV is mutual, and initiations — even that seem minor — may lead to escalation.”

However, in order to understand the facts behind the alleged epidemic of “male violence against women and children” it is vital that we get the gender specific victim/offender data in every instance, not only in selected categories which may obscure the real picture.

Hi there ONTHEBEACH...

This particular topic, is a case of the same old, same old, I think? Interestingly the police Masonic Lodge is, Lodge MACKAY, so named after one of our Commissioners who did a lot of good work while Commissioner.

One of his most famous achievements, he established the CIB as well as the Police Boys Clubs. Many a young bloke had the opportunity to learn innumerable number of life's great lessons, if he was prepared to do so. Naturally Mr MACKAY was well before my time. When I joined, our Commissioner was Norman T.W ALLAN and he retired mid 1972 if memory serves me correctly. Commissioner MACKAY was very well regarded by all accounts, credited as being very intelligent and innovative, with a reputation of possessing great humanitarian ideals and deep foresight. Commissioners apparently like this bloke, don't come along all that often, which is more the pity.

OTB, I joined the Masonic Lodge in 1971, and would you believe it was named 'Lodge Long Bay ! Nothing to do with the gaol, other than it's geographical location, nevertheless quite a number of Prison Officers from that gaol were members there? Small world eh?

Our highly educated, who have never experienced domestic violence personally have a million excuses as too why more money is needed to change the character of Domestic Violence into domestic bliss.
I was shocked to see Australia of the Year 2015 ,Batty talk to a man in a Swedish prison and say to the TV crew that she had never spoken to a domestic violence perpetrator.Who told the story how his mother beat him daily as a child.
What has she been doing for one year.Telling everybody about her mad partner.
Convicts who came to Australia were not the gentile peace loving people we are told about.They were abusing women and children on board ships for months.
When they arrived in Australia,our local indigenous people were subjected to their violence.
Is it possible that we are still cleaning up Australia.
Where is the sympathy from the feminist lobby of the men who see their children placed in the care of sexually abusive females and there families by the Family court.
There is always two sides to an argument.

o sung wu,

Then you have lived through the heyday of the ethical Freemasons and other community-conscious clubs and associations.

Dare I suggest that The Box and then the computer games and internet have largely put them all to rest.

However the committed community-service oriented still put their hand up and take that step forward.

It is a pity that the emerging Oz multicultural culture is now more about selfishness, jealousy and interfering in other people's affairs.

Back to the thread, I continue to learn and it is what you make of it.
