Show Notes
New South Wales tough stance on domestic violence has led to a surge in prison population, with over 37% increase in just five years. The state has allocated $100 million to cover extra prison costs, but public outcry grows as eleven women have died this year. While the focus on catching offenders is commended, its straining the justice system and diverting resources from other areas. The state has pledged $227 million for victim services, but frontline help is overwhelmed with average wait times of two months and some programs running at nine times capacity. Advocates call for an extra $177 million to address these gaps.
