addresses coercive control after car-fire murders
Queensland will modernise domestic violence laws to include coercive control, following a landmark women's safety report and fearless campaigning.
The highly anticipated report from the Women's Safety and Justice Task force was tabled in state parliament on Thursday afternoon, aimed at helping victims identify the subtle and vicious form of control.
It also highlighted disturbing failings by law enforcement, with the task force's chair, Margaret McMurdo, detailing how "women perceived their perpetrators are emboldened by police, legal practitioners and judicial officers".
