Summary
Queensland’s domestic violence minister is under fire for slashing funding to prevention services, even as a tragic murder of a 30-year-old mother ignites national outrage. With budget cuts slashing support by nearly $30 million over two years and staff reductions looming, critics demand her resignation. Despite claims that funds are being reallocated through a phased strategy — with no public tracking — the opposition calls it a failure. The victim’s grieving sister, now raising her infant, says more must be done. The minister offers condolences, acknowledging too many women have died — but accountability remains elusive as the state faces mounting scrutiny.
