👇🏠 #DomesticViolence victims will have more support to terminate their lease immediately and without penalty. Despite community perceptions, the time when a victim flees a violent home can be the most dangerous. Having the freedom to escape a lease without penalty is crucial.

It’s o-fish-ial - this is what our new Sydney Fish Markets will look like. And it’ll fit a lot of fish. We’re using nearly 14 olympic pools of concrete to give our famous Fish Markets a bit of a makeover - and it’ll support 700 jobs once it’s complete.

⚖️ #CoerciveControl is a common precursor to intimate partner homicide. Responding to this horrific abuse remains a challenge for law enforcement + legal minds. I urge everyone to contribute to the inquiry #nswpol

Hopes for legal reform as government announces inquiry into coercive control

The inquiry announcement came on what would have been the 34th birthday of Preethie Reddy, the dentist murdered by her ex-boyfriend.

It’s now revealed that Josh Murray and his wife donated $1,450 to the Labor Party and that Mr Murray and the Premier have been friends for 20 years. The Premier must establish an independent inquiry into the recruitment and compliance with the Ministerial Code of Conduct.
