Episode Details

Margaret McMurdo warns that Queensland’s government may be ignoring critical domestic violence reform recommendations, even as a recent murder of a mother reignites public outcry. Her taskforce’s 2021 report demanded an independent supervisor to track progress and report publicly — a key safeguard now seemingly abandoned. Despite the minister’s claims that all recommendations are being followed, funding for related programs is set to plummet from $44.8 million to $22.3 million. With Jana Armstrong’s tragic death echoing the urgency, McMurdo fears lives are still being lost because vital accountability measures are being sidelined.
