VICTIMS of domestic violence say they could have escaped their abuser earlier if they d been made aware of their criminal past, amid fresh calls for a disclosure scheme. Domestic violence advocates, survivors and families of murdered women have joined together to call for wide ranging changes to laws, processes and education on the anniversary of the murders of Hannah Clarke and her children Aaliyah, 6, Laianah, 4 and Trey, 3. It comes as Attorney-General Shannon Fentiman announced a task force had been established to look at the criminalisation of coercive control. The anniversary has also prompted calls for further discussion around GPS trackers for high risk offenders, the eradication of the defence of provocation and an education program in schools to teach kids about the signs of an unhealthy relationship.
