Mr Trang Chawla and Ms Lee were both sick of australia's domestic violence rates, having been victims themselves and decided to take a stand against political parties which they view lack commitment to implement recommendations to the Royal Commission into Family Violence in a meaningful way
They believe having a voice representing the victim survivor would be critical in inciting real change at a state level.
