Australian consciousness of family violence and violence against women and children is extending beyond the level where we have been for about forty years. A major contributor to making us more aware is Rosie Batty, 2015 Australian of the Year. Our nation is the middle of a rethink and an extension of our knowledge. Because of this, please consider this event.
