SEXUAL VIOLENCE law reform: Australia

Big congrats to NSW (and its Attorney-General Michael Daley MP ) for bringing about this vital law change that resonates with every right-thinking human being - abolishing the right of convicted s*x offenders to claim they are a person of 'good character' for the sole purpose of securing a sentence reduction. Yep - that final 'kick in the guts' to victims in an already gruelling Court process. And kudos to Harrison and Jarad at for their tireless campaigning.
We urge New Zealand to follow!

'An absolute victory': Good character evidence scrapped in NSW A survivor advocate behind the campaign calling for good character references to be abolished in sentencing perpetrators of s*xual offences has described the NSW reform as "an absolute victory".
