'Every death a tragedy': Nearly a quarter of Queensland's domestic violence offences occur on the Gold Coast

Support groups say the Gold Coast has become a hotspot for increasingly violent crimes against women.The Gold Coast has recorded the highest number of strangulation offences in QueenslandDomestic Violence Prevention Centre CEO Rosie O'Malley said nearly a quarter of the state's domestic and family violence orders were recorded in the Gold Coast region in recent years, in an area that is only home to about 10 per cent of the state's population.

She said more than 6,500 women had sought domestic violence support on the Gold Coast in the past year. "Here on the Gold Coast, between [Southport court], Beenleigh court and Coolangatta court, we do 23 per cent of the state's domestic violence orders," she said.Minister for the Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence Shannon Fentiman told Parliament on Wednesday that violence against women surged during coronavirus pandemic lockdowns.

The second-highest number of those offences was recorded in Logan, south of Brisbane, where 287 charges were laid over three years.Gold Coast Centre Against Sexual Violence director Di Macleod said reporting of sexual violence on the Gold Coast had increased for both recent and past abuse.

Cos coke, meth and douchebags are rampant on the Gold Coast.

Terrible place, needs a big clean up, as others have said, these crimes have many forewarnings, that aren’t heeded. Time to go back a step as well - help people, especially women who bear most consequences, make better early choices about relationships

Drugs.

A lot of couples move to the GC thinking their lives will be better alas they bring their toxic ways as well. Most of these DV incidents are not from couples born and bred on GC but imports from southern states and NZ. Sad fact but true!

‘Every murder a crime’. It’s not a natural disaster. It’s an egregious breach of human rights and local law. Don’t say it’s a ‘ tragedy’ without showing how criminal it is.

Hmmmm i wonder if its linked to the amount of steriod bearing, gym junky, ego-maniac's that commonly exhibit the GC area.

EASY FIX!! Once AVO IS ISSUED LOCK THEM UP FOR 12 MONTHS. Time to cool off & will act as deterrent. IF GOVT IS SERIOUS ABOUT PROTECTING VICTIMS DO IT NOW👍👍👍

Mother arrested after her child nearly dies from severe head lice infestationA mother has been arrested after her four-year-old daughter suffered from such severe head lice infestation, she could barely walk. What a disgrace of a human being, let alone someone you could (or would) call a mother. She deserves the most harsh penalty. There should be no excuse or reasoning why she shouldn't. We require a license to drive but unfortunately there is no qualification required to breed. Any dropkick can do it. Wait, there must be some way to blame a man for this ... feminists? help?
