A Tasmanian trial which would allow police to monitor where domestic violence victims are in relation to their abuser has attracted controversy.
The trial was, in part, prompted by the murder of Olga Neubert, who was shot dead by her estranged husband in a busy Hobart street four years ago.
Engender Equality chief executive Alina Thomas said part of the reluctance to opt in may be a feeling from victims that they were handing control of their lives from the abuser to police.
