The sister of a woman who was murdered by her partner in 2018 has let loose at the state of Australia’s violence against women problem, saying it is getting worse.
Katie Haley , the 29-year-old mother-of-two, was one of 63 women killed by a male partner in 2018, after Shane Robertson beat her to death with a dumbbell while the couple’s child slept nearby.
“So, we’re not getting better. We’re getting worse. I’m mad. I’m mad for my sister Katie because no matter how much advocacy work victims and victim survivors put in, it’s never going to be enough. It’s falling on deaf ears.” Masa Vukotic was just 17 when she was killed by Sean Price while going for a walk near her home in Doncaster, in Melbourne’s southeast, in March 2015.
“Enough has been enough for so long now, even before my sister passed away. Something really needs to be done,” she said in the viral video.“My sister went for a walk, about 500m from our house, and she was killed. It wasn’t even night time, it was 6.50pm. She just went to get a bit of a break and lost her life.”
“She was the best person that I have ever known. She’s more than just a victim of a man, and she’s more than just a victim of knife violence, and she could have been so much more than she was.”
