NSW MP Anna Watson is naming her proposed coercive control bill for dentist Preethi Reddy, killed by her ex-boyfriend in 2019. Dr Reddy's family believes the bill will save lives.

"My family were deeply honoured that Anna wanted to do that for my beautiful sister," Dr Reddy said.

"But I know this is what she would have wanted, our decision to say yes to this is driven by who she is and what she valued. It would be an incredible and powerful legacy. In the second reading of the bill in NSW Parliament today, Ms Watson said the bill will ensure the criminal law reflects that domestic abuse can often be a pattern or behaviour.

Lawyer called mum “hard-nosed bitch”, inquest hearsOlga Edwards, the mother of two teenagers later murdered by their father, was labelled a “hard-nosed bitch” by the independent lawyer appointed to act for her children in family court proceedings, an inquest has heard. We really failed this woman and her children. WOW, even after her children were murdered and she committed suicide 5 months later, this heartless lawyer still has the gall to come out and say this. Obviously they have no problem sleeping at night.. How do you feel now Debbie Morton. Looks like the psychologist and Olga Edwards were correct to keep John Edwards away from the children. Blood on your hands Debbie Morton DebbieMorton
