In the wake of the tragic murder of a childcare worker in Forbes, NSW, Premier Chris Minns has acknowledged the shortcomings of the current bail system for domestic violence victims. The government is now exploring a range of reforms, including removing bail decisions from registrars and establishing specialized domestic violence courts like those in Queensland’s Gold Coast. The move comes after the former partner of the victim, Molly Ticehurst, was granted bail despite facing numerous charges related to stalking and intimidation. Her death has sparked outrage, highlighting the need for urgent action to protect vulnerable women from violence.
