2 signatures so far! Petition created by: A Macdonald AVO laws in Australia are currently doing very little to protect the people who invest in them. Domestic violence victims especially may find their attackers consistently breach the orders and are able to play the court system when brought before it for AVO breaches. This needs to stop; deaths like Melissa Cook's, a woman shot dead in broad daylight by her abusive ex husband, are preventable through stronger AVO and gun laws. This petition is to ask for more political attention and intervention in regards to domestic violence AVO issues, the drafting of harsher penalties for repeated AVO breaches, including jail terms, and for more information and support to be made available for people taking out AVO's. 2 have signed so far - help us get to 10. We have achieved 20% of our goal. Let's keep going! Sign the petition! Details, Impact and Progress The goal is to provide more support for domestic violence victims who have suffered through the lack of policing of AVO breaches. This petition will be sent to the Minister for Women and the Police Minister in Australian Parliament. Comments Note: This service is provided as a service to TakingITGlobal Members.
