The owner of fish and chip shop “The Battered Wife” in far north Queensland has been forced to close her business after she was the subject of a ‘witch hunt’ by an anti-abuse not for profit organisation.
The name of the shop drew criticism from numerous Queensland MPs last year for trivialising domestic violence and was condemned in a subsequent barrage of social media posts.
Owner Carolyn Kerr has defended the name of her shop with the support of locals, saying she was raising awareness for the issue.
