Across Queensland, breaches of domestic violence orders have quadrupled in the last decade, and the domestic violence crisis in Logan is reaching a boiling point.

Police in Logan are overwhelmed, with more than 100 domestic violence calls going unresponded to just hours before the tragic case of Destiny Otton-Rakuraku, who was allegedly set on fire by her ex-partner.

Kathy Smith, Project Manager at Defenders For Hope, a Logan-based charity on the front lines of this crisis, told Gray Hardgrave on 4BC Drive that they have to resort to giving tents to DV victims with the current housing crisis.
