Queensland citizens draws to the attention of the House that domestic violence extracts an exacting toll on the Queensland community. Each year there are a significant number of domestic violence deaths – in 2003 there were 28 domestic violence related deaths. More Aboriginal women and children die of domestic homicide than deaths in custody. Many of these deaths may be preventable. Multi-disciplinary death review boards have been successful in other countries in making changes to government and community responses so as to prevent the deaths of women and children. This petition of citizens of Queensland requests the Parliament to establish a Multi-Disciplinary Domestic Violence Death Review Board. A Domestic Violence Death Review Board would provide information on the nature and circumstance of each death as well as possible gaps in legislation and/or service response. With more information these deaths may be prevented.
