New Plan for Domestic Violence Help in New South Wales
Introduction
The Public Service Association (PSA) wants the government to run all domestic violence services. Now, small private groups run these services.
Main Body
The PSA says private groups are not always good. They tell a story about a woman named Molly Ticehurst. She died because a private group did not keep her safe. The PSA wants the government to help people, just like police and doctors do. But other groups disagree. Domestic Violence NSW says this is a bad idea. They say private groups have more experience. They also worry about First Nations people. These people may not trust the government, so they will not ask for help. Minister Jodie Harrison says the government will help in different ways. The government now gives money for five years. This helps the services stay open. The government also tried special courts, but they did not keep them.
Conclusion
The PSA wants the government to take control. Other groups want to keep the current system.
