    Calls for a 'holistic approach' to combat DV

    The NSW government is reviewing domestic violence-related bail laws after the horrific death of Molly Ticehurst earlier this week. Associate Professor Jane Wangman from the NSW Domestic Violence Death Review Team warns that while she "welcomes" the bail review the issue can't be separated into parts - and must be reformed "holistically". 

    She says the law is "only as good as the professionals that apply and enforce it" she says we need to ensure a domestic violence lens is used to consider risk in things like bail conditions.

Very good interviews and national stories

Some of these stories may slip under the radar, these issues often contain useful information and may not be covered by other news outlets and Radio National gives you in-depth coverage about each topic which is great. Radio National also produces interviews which I really like because there are often interesting people in each topic, but they may not cover all sides fairly.

Faraz Tahir more than a ‘refugee’

Important not to reduce this young guy who’d been through so much and on his first day of a new job in this way. His backstory is equally available he deserves more than a a nameless one word description

ABC balance issues

Out of all of the ABC programs for left wing indoctrination, this program is a little bit more moderate. Unfortunately in Australians are funding an unbalanced public broadcaster.
