@pearlythingz Twitter clearly shows how completely and utterly stupid humans can be. Congrats you are currently winning you dumb arse.

Hey @AGLEnergy - stop getting your overseas people to call customers constantly (4 calls yesterday) about your "new plan". Told them I declined a few months ago when you rang and still you call. Today I declined and they said "but you haven't even heard the offer yet". Just stop.

@Kate_FitzGibbon @DV_NSW @OurWatchAus @natalieisbrown @ANROWS @MonashUni @MonashBusiness Im currently getting stats from the 27xWDVCAS' statewide in NSW on referrals last night from Police after State of Origin. It is interesting that - so far - little to no increase in DV incidents. Not to dismiss other data, but WDVCAS' cover every postode in NSW. Will post it l8r.

@mike_salter Im collecting data from the 27xWDVCAS' statewide in NSW to see if they had an increase in Police referrals last night after State of Origin. So far it is showing little to no increase. Not dismissing data around, but it is interesting data fm a statewide DV spec service.

@ADanielOAM HEY EVERYONE. How about reading the whole story?!?!?! @ADanielOAM was pointing out the great advocacy of the SWS WDVCAS,who advocated for her to stay.
This highlights the importance of all of our work.
Learn about what services do and how we should all work together for clients!

[Tanya Whitehouse OAM🌈 @TanyaMWDVCAS]

@JulianFidge SHAME ON YOU. I hope you are appropriately disciplined.
If you need any training on Domestic Violence, contact your local DV service providers. You might learn a thing or two.

@DV_NSW Nanette is the bomb. Such a fierce advocate for victim survivors - have worked with her for over 25 yrs. Such a compassionate and strong solicitor.

@MarkSpeakman @smh With the announcement I'm yet to be clear on what charges need to be laid to qualify for this. Please don't make it for the offences that are higher eg: Intentionally Choke - please make it for those charges we see all the time.
Stalk/Intimidate
AOABH

[Tanya Whitehouse OAM🌈 @TanyaMWDVCAS]

@MarkSpeakman @smh Thank you. Ive lobbied for this in the last few weeks not knowing it was going to be a thing. Figured my idea would not be embraced. It can only do good, less breaches with EM, more safety 4 women.Pls increase the number of duress alarms 4 women. Im told theres only 15 in NSW!

[Tanya Whitehouse OAM🌈 @TanyaMWDVCAS]

@ADanielOAM what an amazing opportunity.

[Tanya Whitehouse OAM🌈 @TanyaMWDVCAS]

@bird2theresa Thanks Theresa. We just want to be heard. I think that is happening on some levels.

[Tanya Whitehouse OAM🌈 @TanyaMWDVCAS]

Suggestion to @ChrisMinnsMP, @JodieH_MP, @AnoulackChanthivong & @nswpolice for perps.
1. Anyone charged with an offence of AOABH, Intentionally Choke - DV offences - is automatically given electronic monitoring.
2. They are monitored from charge date. /2

[Tanya Whitehouse OAM🌈 @TanyaMWDVCAS]

@bird2theresa @ADanielOAM @wcs_001 I agree, but clearly the bigger our voice the more people might listen.

[Tanya Whitehouse OAM🌈 @TanyaMWDVCAS]

@bird2theresa OMG so did we.

[Tanya Whitehouse OAM🌈 @TanyaMWDVCAS]

@JWangmann @GeraldineBilst1 Thanks so much Jane. I know you are so connected with WDVCAS work. We really need more funding to do this even more with more staff. Fingers crossed this happens.

[Tanya Whitehouse OAM🌈 @TanyaMWDVCAS]

@GeraldineBilst1 Thanks Geraldine. I have a small card next to my phone that says "You can't do epic shit with basic people". I look at that every day. Thank god for epic people around me!

[Tanya Whitehouse OAM🌈 @TanyaMWDVCAS]

@ADanielOAM These perpetrators are the ones we worry most about.
