Could a young mum’s murder lead to new DV laws?

Australia was rocked by the murder of Brisbane mother Hannah Clarke and her three children. Her estranged husband breached an AVO and killed them as Hannah drove the children to school.

Hannah’s death has prompted governments across the country to look into creating coercive control laws.

Hannah’s mother Sue joins us to talk about the last year and the impact on the family. Author and journalist Jess Hill talks about the push to legislate new laws to protect victims, who are often too frightened to speak out.
