❤️SHE MATTERS: JADE YOUNG!❤️
This is mum-of-two and architect Jade Young. On Saturday, Jade was stabbed to death at the Bondi Junction Westfield shopping centre. Jade is the 25th Australian woman killed this year. Jade's killer was shot to death by a police officer after he targeted and attacked multiple women and two men in one of Australia's worst acts of gender-based domestic terrorism.
As I write, three of this man's victims have been identified - Jade, Dr Ashlee Good and Dawn Singleton. The other female victims are as yet unnamed and one male victim remains unidentified. Eight victims remain in hospital.
There's so little known about Jade, but no one will be surprised to know almost every detail of killer's life is being headlined across Australia.
His life doesn't matter. What matters is the lives of the women and man he killed. What matters is we spend our energy supporting their loved ones and hoping no one else dies as a result of his actions.
He doesn't matter. But his victims do matter. Jade Young matters.
RIP JADE YOUNG! ❤️

This means not every death is due to domestic and family violence. Australians are also killed by strangers, friends, colleagues, neighbours and other people known to them.

This Australia, is another hero. Let's not forget his name or his face.
Pakistani refugee Faraz Tahir was murdered by the Bondi Junction misogynist thug on Saturday.
The 30-year-old security guard was on duty at Westfield.
I understand his female colleague was also murdered but I still do not have any information about her.
Faraz tried to stop the attacker, alongside his colleague, but the coward ended their lives.
Faraz had only been in Australia for a year and he came seeking refuge from persecution.
❤️SHE MATTERS: YIXUAN CHENG!❤️
Yixuan Cheng had just finished talking to her partner when the Bondi Junction attacker decided to end her life on Saturday.
Yixuan is the 27th of 28 women killed this year.
She was a university student, studying here from China. Now her parents are faced with the trauma of losing their daughter, dealing with a foreign country's legal system and bringing her home.
There's no more detail about Yixuan at this stage.
RIP YIXUAN CHENG! ❤️
