Domestic Violence in Australia: What It Really Looks Like And Why the System Still Fails

Описание: Domestic and family violence in Australia doesn’t always look the way people expect.

It doesn’t always involve sirens, shouting, or visible injuries.

In this video, I break down what domestic and family violence really looks like, how common it is, why leaving is one of the most dangerous moments, and where Australia’s systems succeed, and fail, in keeping people safe.

Using national data, real cases, and recent legal reforms, this video explores:
• The true scale of domestic and family violence in Australia
• Why emotional abuse and economic abuse are so common — and so damaging
• What coercive control actually means in practice
• How technology is being used as a tool of surveillance and control
• Why separation increases risk, rather than ending it
• The connection between domestic violence, homelessness, and financial insecurity
• What recent cases like Molly Ticehurst, Hannah Clarke, Lilie James, and Luke Batty reveal about systemic gaps
• Australia’s current reforms, including coercive control laws and family law changes
• The tension between legal intention and real-world outcomes

This isn’t a video about individual “bad relationships.”
It’s about patterns, power, and systems — and what happens when support exists on paper but doesn’t arrive in time.
