The owner of the “Battered Wife Fish and Chip Shop” in far north QLD has spoken out against backlash surrounding the name.
Attorney-General Yvette D'Ath said she was appalled by the shop's name after a domestic violence incident in the area.
A huge online backlash has come as well, labelling the shop as “insensitive” and “crass” in its “trivialisation” of domestic violence.
The owner, however, is a domestic violence survivor herself and said she named the shop to raise awareness of the severity of the issue.
