OPINION Yesterday came the awful news of the death of 27-year-old Kelly Wilkinson. Her burnt body was found in her own backyard at Arundel on the Gold Coast; her three children, all under nine, were at home at the time. Just beyond belief.
Her former partner, 34-year-old Bryan Johnstone, has been charged with murder and breaching a domestic violence order. He was found with serious burns two blocks away.

It raises the question: what is going so wrong with domestic violence in this country? What s the point of AVOs and domestic violence orders? They re not worth the paper they re written on.
