Independent MP Kate Chaney has called for urgent reforms at a state and federal level to tackle violence against women in the face of a horrific murder-suicide in Perth .
The young woman was rushed to Royal Perth Hospital in a serious condition, but WA Police confirmed she died on Saturday morning. Detective Inspector David Gorton said in a press conference the 59-year-old woman was a friend of the man’s ex-wife. “I spoke to the Prime Minister on Saturday morning and he sent his condolences to the community and we spoke about the terrible problem of violence against women,” Ms Chaney said.
“Certainly, what I hear on the broader issue about violence against women, is that we do need better frontline service responses, more accommodation, some justice reform – now this is change at a federal and state level,” she said.
