New laws tightening up on coercive behaviour
Posted: Sun Mar 10, 2024 4:51 pm
Greetings Fellow Travelers on Streetcar, just wanted to post about the recent laws passed in Queensland regarding coercive control. Essentially it’s classified under family law/domestic violence as a form of controlling behaviour, specifically where it involves isolating the victim from others such as family. (The new laws cover many other aspects too but isolating and shunning are included).
This ABC article is a good primer: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-03-06/ ... ntent=link
For a further explanation, here is a link from Relationships Australia: https://www.relationshipsvictoria.org.a ... e-control/
It’s somewhat early days but the pressure will build to end this appalling, barbaric practice (isolating family members) perpetuated by certain men in xCF ‘churches’.
Plenty more information can be found on this topic by a search for ‘coercive control’. And while some states have specific laws regarding this, some other states, Victoria for example, consider that their family law statutes already cover this behaviour.
