Should the government create a publicly accessible registry of convicted domestic violence offenders?
Domestic violence is a massive national crisis in Australia, leading to calls for a public database similar to a sex offender registry. Proponents argue that a registry empowers women with life-saving information before entering dangerous relationships, pointing to Clare's Law in the UK as a successful model. Opponents counter that public name and shame lists drive offenders underground, increase the risk of vigilante violence, and completely undermine the goal of rehabilitation by permanently destroying a person's ability to get a job or housing.

I think rather than focus on things like this we need to foster healthy culture for Australians starting with early childhood education, raising awareness on how we can connect in community, support each other, have the provision of adequate mental health care, and stop pathologising people, but treat the individual nuanced cases
