Laura, Jim and Lisa continue their interview with Rosie Batty, whose 11 year old son Luke was brutally murdered by his father, Gregg Anderson on February 12 2014. Rosie shares her insight about Anderson's choice to murder Luke in a public place, her journey which she has not shared before and we discuss what needs to see change to better protect women and children. #HisNameWasLukeBatty #CoerciveControl #ChildAbuse #DomesticAbuse Coercive control significantly correlates with femicide and familicide. We must make the non-physical abuse - coercive control - and the abuser visible. We must ensure the perpetrator is held accountable for their behaviour.  Please sign and share the petition and help us create pressure and momentum so that the government acts now and criminalises coercive control. This will save lives. #HerNameWasHannah #HerNameWasAaliyah #HerNameWasLaianah #HisNameWasTrey https://www.change.org/p/premier-annastacia-palaszczuk-criminalise-coercive-control-in-australia?recruiter=154725120autm_source=share_petitionautm_medium=twitterautm_campaign=share_petitionarecruited_by_id=5e1da672-5e39-474c-8637-eb3d415ddc29 If you are experiencing domestic abuse, stalking and/or harassment and/or honour based abuse from someone you know, please do not suffer in silence.
