Let's not forget while the media is on about bullying others...all they have done is print hate toward the husband...Remember he had a family that also loved him and those children 🤔 Leave it alone Jesus has the children 🥰

Much more of this story needs to come out. Fathers are often driven to despair by family break ups. All sides need to be heard if society wants to tackle these tragedies. Man bad, end of story, obviously doesn't work.

The detective who was stressed from the crime scene was probably still in shock when he was accosted by the media! The media would have been firing questions at him faster than he could cope with after what he had just seen. Unless you walk in his shoes you wouldn't understand!

Good. But who I would love most of all to 'step aside' , is the Magistrate with blood on his hands who - at Xmas time, after the Husband from Hell who had kidnapped one of his little children, then was caught, released this monster back into the community

Well thanks to this a lot of people leftist have a hast tag bettina they are blaming daisy cousin bettina for this.

Let’s hear both sides of this tragic incident, what brings a person to do this type of thing and where was the help that he needed and that she never got

Cherry picking, Muddling and twisting his words in such a horrendous case costing him his job? Pathetic

I found nothing wrong with what he said. Why do people put ideas in between lines that something else is being insinuated. Its the Police's job to look into every aspect of a case before drawing any conclusion whether its looks a particular way or not.

Ahh yes no realistic investigation just all men bad hysteria

I also wholeheartedly not condone any violence against women, especially this horrendous murder in Brisbane. I feel sick hearing about it.

The Commissioner should be the one apologising to Det Insp Mark Thompson! He was attempting to explain police were required to keep an open mind when investigating, and people have focussed on the one poorly worded comment. She should have supported her officer, not kowtowed!

So you’re telling me there is absolutely no connection between the following: domestic violence increase post separation situations, dramatic mental health issues increased in separated men, due to financial pressure and lack of custody rights. And the current family law process.

He shouldn’t be the one in the firing line. It’s the magistrate who let Baxter free that should be stood down
