If you have seen the news, you will know that the DPP reviewed the verdict and has decided not to appeal. As disappointing as this is, it yet again highlights the need for the systemic changes desperately needed to make it easier to prosecute those who commit these crimes of a sexual nature.

When I created this petition, to start with I had one goal. That one goal was to bring justice for this nurse and to see Jackson Williams appropriately punished for that brutal attack. As the petition started to gain traction and I started to read through all the comments, I realised that this had to be about the bigger picture. The bigger picture being about women's safety. About a woman's right to not only feel safe but be safe.

This particular battle has come to an end, there is nothing else that we can do in relation to this case but the war is so far from being over!

This case has highlighted that we need to do so much better. No more words. Action is what we need to see. Our leaders need to bring immediate attention to this issue and offer Women more protection as we go about our daily lives. Some of us aren't even safe in our own homes!

We now need to be proactive, not reactive.

97000+ people have put their name to this petition. We all share the same sentiment.... Enough is Enough!! How can we as women feel secure in our surroundings when the justice System are releasing moderate risk offenders back onto our streets?? This isn't a world that I feel comfortable raising my daughters in and I'm not alone. Mothers, fathers, even grandparents have commented that they worry about the safety of the women in their lives.

Stuart Grimley of the Derryn Hinch Justice party has put forward a proposal for a new "Grab and Drag" offence which would fill the gap between Common Assualt and Sexual Assualt. One word is what failed in the presiding over this case. INTENT.

The Grab and Drag offence will make it easier for our Courts to prosecute those who commit these vile attacks on women. It will come with a maximum sentence of 15 years and it can't come soon enough.

Women will start to feel safer when one by one these predators are removed from our streets!!

Thank you to all of you for your ongoing support throughout this campaign. It is far from being over. I will continue the fight until the changes are made. We only need a couple of thousand more signatures to get to 100,000.
