In light of these articles
This article from AAP on legislation in the SA parliament is intriguing:
Legislation to outlaw a range of daunting, managing and threatening behaviours, frequently a prelude to domestic violence, will be thought about by the South Australian parliament.
The Labor opposition’s coercive control costs describes a pattern of behaviours including psychological abuse, isolation, sexual browbeating, financial abuse, cyber-stalking and various types of intimidation.
They are extremely perpetrated versus ladies by a current or previous intimate partner and typically precede other forms of domestic abuse.
Opposition spokeswoman for the avoidance of domestic violence Katrine Hildyard states those who experience it are controlled and controlled through intimidation, humiliation, exploitation, isolation and by eliminating their sense of self-respect.
She stated the controlling behaviour typically includes threats and actual violence, and in many cases, precedes murder.
” With 48 Australian ladies already killed this year as a result of violence and with coercive and controlling behaviour frequently a precursor, it is vital our parliaments act,” Hildyard said.
” The existing suite of laws are not discouraging repeat offenders and are not identifying nor handling specific kinds of insidious abuse like coercive control.”
Labor said it would deal with the state federal government, all MPs, company, legal services, women experiencing domestic violence and other stakeholders to successfully handle the concern.
Comparable legislation has been presented in Ireland, Scotland and the UK while Tasmania has included some offences in its criminal code.
Queensland, Victoria and NSW were also introducing or considering similar expenses.
In other jurisdictions, the laws deal with the distribution of personal images, risks to self-harm when partners try to leave, taking and constantly monitoring a partner’s cellphone, damaging partner’s family pets, stopping them working, constant fear about adultery and controlling partner’s financial resources and motions.

I’m really mad over that response.
Extremely, really mad
Anthony Albanese to Stuart Robert:
I describe hazards by the then human services minister in 2016, to the victims of the prime minister’s prohibited robodebt plan and I price quote, “We’ll find you, we’ll track you down and you will have to pay back those debts as you may end up in prison.”
Why was the federal government threatening victims with jail when it was its own ministers that were breaking the law?
Robert: Thanks, Mr Speaker.
Tony Smith: I will not call the manager of opposition business. The minister has to be relevant to the response. I have actually enabled him latitude as I do to compare and contrast however you can not start your response with material that isn’t appropriate to the concern. The minister has the call.
Robert: Thanks, Mr Speaker.
The member for Sydney in 2010– if individuals fail to come to a plan to settle their debts, the government has an obligation to taxpayers to recuperate that cash.
… Labor’s own words make it really clear that the responsibility to recuperate financial obligations …
Tony Burke: On direct importance. The minister needs to be able to give a direct answer to a concern where individuals passed away, where ministers broke the law and the minister threatening individuals with prison while he was breaking the law.
Smith: I’m going to advise the minister again that there wasn’t a preamble to the question. It was a specific question. He requires to be directly relevant in his response and in doing that, he needs to deal with the question that was asked, not just handle material that is on the policy subject but not having handled the question itself.
The minister’s concluded his response.

Twitter must remove Afghanistan tweet, Florida senator Marco Rubio states
Daniel Hurst
We brought you remarks earlier today from the US ambassador to Australia.
In a similar vein, the United States state department’s deputy representative, Cale Brown, has now tweeted out a message of support for Australia, while describing the now-notorious Afghanistan tweet as “a new low, even for the Chinese Communist party”.
( Brown works as the deputy state spokesperson under the outbound secretary of state, Mike Pompeo.)
Cale Brown
( @StateDeputySPOX)We stand with our Australian partners in calling out @MFA_China for spreading out disinformation by fabricating an image of Australian soldiers in Afghanistan. This is a brand-new low, even for the Chinese Communist Party.
Cale Brown
( @StateDeputySPOX)The CCP’s latest attack on Australia is another example of its unchecked use of disinformation and coercive diplomacy. Its hypocrisy is apparent to all. While it doctors images on @Twitter to attack other countries, the CCP avoids its own people from reading their posts.
Cale Brown
( @StateDeputySPOX)As the CCP spreads out disinformation, it covers up its horrendous human rights abuses, including the detention of more than a million Muslims in Xinjiang.
On the other hand Florida senator Marco Rubio has written to Twitter chief Jack Dorsey to ask why the tweet has actually not been taken down, as requested by Scott Morrison. In the letter posted online, Rubio composes that Twitter “has had more than 36 hours to recognize, investigate, and evaluate a tweet sent by Zhao Lijian, the deputy director general of China’s information department, that contains a doctored image that depicts a violent act that might in turn motivate other violent acts”. Rubio ends with the following barb:
” The American individuals increasingly see mainstream social media, specifically Twitter, as little more than a liberal echo chamber likely to censor conservatives. I share their issue, specifically when enemies of America are enabled to publish falsified and alarmingly deceptive images with no repercussion.”
(That implies the image doesn’t instantly show up, and people are provided with a caution before seeing it.
