00:08 that's deeply traumatised as a result.
00:10 The terrible scourge of domestic violence leaves a deep and lasting impact and the death
00:17 of these women, often at the hands of a family member, is escalating and of course horrifying

00:29 as to how this alleged offender was out on bail.
00:33 We have a duty of care to alleged victims, particularly those that are awaiting justice
00:38 through the criminal justice system.
00:41 And the profound anger and loss felt by the family and friends of the alleged victim,
00:48 and the women's family and friends, is completely justifiable.
00:52 Completely justifiable.
