Independent MP Kylea Tink is calling for a change in domestic violence procedure, arguing the focus should be for victims to be able to stay in their homes while the perpetrators must leave. “I would like to see us as a nation begin to have a conversation that the person who experiences the violence or coercion gets to stay,” Ms Tink told Sky News Australia. “And it’s the perpetrator who leaves and gets the help that nine times out of ten they will recognise they actually need for themselves. “If we could bring that about, you would have women and children staying in homes, and we would be trying to find accommodation for one person as opposed to trying to find accommodation for four or five people at a time.” If you or someone you know requires assistance: Domestic Violence Helpline: 1800RESPECT Lifeline: 13 11 14 Beyond Blue: 1300 22 4636 Kids Helpline: 1800 55 1800

Yes or No?” Ms Tink told Sky News Australia. “Do we think First Nations people, given the government can make laws for them, should have the right to be heard when those laws are being made? “And then, do we trust the government that then is in place in the day, because ultimately the government of the day will decide how the Voice runs.”
