The Honourable Di Farmer, Minister for the Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence, has affirmed that if the Palaszcuk Government is reelected, they will introduce new strategies to address coercive control.
In a press release, Ms Farmer recognised the difficulty of identifying this behaviour, and said the Government will introduce specialist training for first responders and domestic violence case workers.
She stated that many people living amongst coercive behaviour, including isolation, movement monitoring, and complete control over finances, are unaware that they are experiencing domestic violence.
