Have domestic violence murder charge laws changed

Have domestic violence murder charge laws changed

The issue

Borce Ristevski is the latest murderer to be lightly sentenced as a result of murdering his wife Karen Ristevski.

With a ridiculous six year sentence, this is a disgrace to us as Australians and also further evidence of the lack of seriousness the High Court of Australia has in relation to the numbers of women that are murdered each year by a current or former partner.

Our laws need to change to make murderers accountable.  Our daughters, nieces, mothers, aunts, sisters, friends lives depend on it.
