I congratulate you Di on your article highlighting the vulnerable position many women and children fleeing domestic violence in the Manning Great Lakes areas now find themselves in.

The Baird Government’s commitment to doing things on the cheap means that they handed the community based refuges over to large, faceless, faith based organisations. Many in the Community will have gained important insights into why the safety of so many women and children has been and continues to be compromised.

Thank you Di.
