🗣️ “Domestic and family violence is present in our homes, on our streets, in our shopping centres and parks, on our beaches and at our bus stops” Judge Elisabeth Armitage said.
The Northern Territory has the highest rates of domestic, family, and sexual violence in the country, with intimate partner homicide occurring at a rate seven times the national average 🚨
Judge Armitage said she did not believe any of her 35 recommendations were “radical”, saying instead, that they were the result of work the DFSV sector had been calling for, for many years.
It’s time for action, not silence ✊
