Some 30 recommendations were put before the NT coroner including overhauling prison programs to ‘end the violence’ against women and children
On Tuesday, counsel-assisting Peggy Dwyer SC released 30 proposed recommendations for the Coroner Elisabeth Armitage to consider ahead of her findings.
The pair’s advocacy became inseparable as the scourge of domestic and family violence plaguing the region was put under the coroner’s microscope. In relation to the four women, evidence showed the violence began with coercive control, the deaths involved extreme violence and physical force and that each of the men were known to police for previous violence against women.
More than half of men on remand or sentenced in NT jails were there because of domestic violence charges.
