Rachael Natoli, Founder of the Lokahi Foundation, joins Luke Grant to talk about that terrible cowardly abuse referred to as coercive and controlling behaviour which is set to become a criminal offense in NSW.

 

In a rare display of unity, a crossbench parliamentary inquiry unanimously recommended this week that coercive control – a pattern of oppressive behaviour that can include controlling a victim’s money, appearance, movement and contact with family – should be made a criminal offense.

 

The committee heard evidence that 99 percent of intimate partner homicides – 111 out of 112 cases – between 2008 and 2016 in NSW had been preceded by elements of coercive control.

 

*The Lokahi Foundation, provides a wide range of support services for women who have been victims of Domestic and Family abuse.
