‘Live in the real world’ – The message to the court system following weekend of DV murders
Three women were killed allegedly by men known to them over the weekend, sparking outrage from domestic violence advocates and the public, and concern from NSW Police.
Trent Nikolic has questioned why people keep calling for better access to services and awareness when it’s clear it’s the courts letting people down.
“Until the legal system starts to live in the real world with the rest of us, until the court system imposes sentences that adequately reflect what the community would expect, nothing is likely to change,” he said on 2GB Sydney Now.
