Horrific murder of mother and three children renews calls for greater action on domestic violence.

Ms McLeod Howe said law enforcement, and society in general, needed to take “red flags” from potentially violent men more seriously.

“I’m not alarmist and I don’t hate men or any of that but when I hear this happens I go, ‘Not again,’ because I think this will happen again and again and again unless we have systems in place, when we have those red flags, we take it seriously,” she said. “If someone shows you who they are, or even says these things as a threat, you should take it seriously. I think often we don’t. I think the community finds it really hard to understand that maybe a good bloke could do this, and I’m not just saying blokes, but in this case it was a bloke. It does happen.

“If they show you who they are, believe them. If they say these things as a threat, believe them, and we have to take action.”“This is not just a women’s issue and men’s power and control… what about these kids? I’m absolutely fed up because nobody is listening to what the kids need.” The CEO of Childhood Domestic Violence Australia on the tragic death of a Brisbane mum and her three children.

Oh now it’s a horrific murder to you? 🙄

Cassandra calls people to tell them they've inherited a fortune but people keep hanging upGenealogist Cassandra Seaborn will spend months, sometimes years, tracking down the rightful beneficiaries of unclaimed deceased estates and the stories she tells are unbelievable. Can't really blame people for being cautious in such a situation. Perhaps she should try speaking with a Nigerian accent? What a great and satisfying occupation. I believe hang ups are, unfortunately, a part of many jobs in our new improved techno society.

And maybe when it is... decisions are made that prioritise the bottom line rather than patient outcomes? And maybe, people are starting to think that's bullshit? Or maybe there are too many of them offering substandard products for too much money and a bunch of them should fail? They should try to provide a reasonable service at a reasonable cost and stop profit gouging their members.
