Remember that time in 2014, when two men were killed by coward-punches ?
And how they changed the laws, shut down Sydney & lost $16 billion in revenue?
Remember a similar response to the 120 women & children killed in family violence that year?
Yeah neither do I @RonniSalt
I wrote this a year ago... still relevant

10 OTHER ways to address low conviction rates of sexual assault

TRIGGER WARNING
1. avoid taking statements immediately after assault-she may have been given drugs by the perp
2. learn to recognise a traumatised woman may not be a “good” witness @Drhutch2011 @dhanyajmani
3. recognise that vaginal swabs and anal swabs are not a fun sport, a doctor’s done them for a reason
4. if women has injuries/lacerations consider that she may not be into 50 shades of gray but rather be telling the truth
5. involve experts in sexual trauma, family violence
And PTSD in your decision making tree
6. Always make sure a female support worker is available to survivors
7. consider the relationship of the victim & perp in it’s entirety -most young girls don’t want to be strangled on the first date or much ever really

My heart is heavy this morning.
A long thread..TRIGGER
I became a dr, a brown one at that!Doesn’t that mean we have equality? Despite the fact at least a 1/5 of the work of GPs is fam violence related - there’s no fam violence Medicare rebate. GP’s are financially #MedTwitter
Penalised if they spend too long with a patient.
Medicare cards are linked with abusive hsbs so some women cannot access medical help.
GPs know that women need more than what can be offered in a consult- but the psychologist or psychiatrist books are full- & they charge gaps...
But these women, even the rich ones are under financial control & cannot pay!
So we sometimes try not to charge but then we have our own families to consider & once again female drs will wear the costs because the govt won’t.@RonniSalt @Lisa_Wilkinson @Drhutch2011

1/ Actually @vanOnselenP DISHONESTY & Lying is seen much more commonly in those with Psychopathic personalities.

We know that there are very high rates of psychopathy in those with leadership positions such CEOs & executives.
@Lisa_Wilkinson @RonniSalt @drlouisehansen #auspol
2/ Psychopaths display a lack of empathy and compassion. They can be grandiose & even charming.
When psychopaths are in leadership we see more bullying, & increased staff turnover.
@Barristerious @sally_stevensxn @shaunwarnock_sw @yabbtopia
3/ organisations with leaders that have psychopathic traits tend to display more unethical and destructive behaviours & have poorer outcomes also. Rates of psychopathy in corporate/executive roles are up to 20%.
Compared to say 1% in the general population. @Drhutch2011 #auspol

1/ Dear @ScottMorrisonMP it’s long but here’s Another Way to respond to rape allegations
1. Demonstrate true compassion for the victim & her family
2. Invite other potential victims to come fwd in a private
& safe way
3. Encourage current staffers to feel safe to report with a
a guarantee of no reprisals
4. Offer psychological support for family & friends of victim
5. Reassure the public you take this seriously & will leave no stone unturned
6. Remind the public violence against violence women will not be tolerated
7. Launch investigation into
The obstacles were stopping the victim from coming forward & demonstrate a desire to address said obstacles
8. Never say it’s “he said/ she said” when it’s obviously more than that
9. Enlist independent investigators
10. Be open about rships with police mates

1/12 The person whose details Neil Punchard illegally obtained & GAVE to her abuser, was at risk.
1.She had left him
2.She was pregnant
3.She was female
4.She had children
She had been to court about his abuse before.
Everything about her was high risk. @cait__kelly
2/12 All people who are responding to victims of abuse need to know the basics.
A police officer - law enforcement- needs to know this ...when 2/5 of the assaults they record are family violence related.
Police ought to know this when it is their core business. @Drhutch2011
3/12 In one year, there were over 70 THOUSAND calls to QLD police about DV.
There is absolutely no excuse for a cop to claim ignorance. The signs were all there.

1/7 Do you even read your own links Joe? Read the article again, but slowly this time, with your glasses on. You have completely (deliberately?) misread the article in order to foist your false narrative on others. Dr. Read said nothing of the sort & if he played your game he
2/ 7 Would be demanding a public apology or threatening legal action. Let me quote from the article YOU posted:

“The Arson Emergency narrative is a bad faith argument spotlighting ignition (what starts the fire) over condition (what keeps the fire burning and makes it spread)”
3/7 Read told Mashable over email that he's "angered" to see commentators "twist" reported research into ignition statistics, or to use them to gloss over the environmental factors affecting the spread and intensity of fires, no matter how they're lit.
