The treatment of domestic violence in the Family Court system

The treatment of domestic violence in the Family Court system The treatment of domestic violence in the Family Court system , 8.73 MB
Thu 19 Apr 2018

Today Newsroom reported that the New Zealand Family Court has made frequent inappropriate comments about domestic violence victims. For example, a judge concluded that a victim was a "successful school teacher" and "a robust and resilient person" and therefore "did not have an ongoing need for protection". This was after the victim had suffered whiplash from being bodyslammed by her former partner. In response to this report, Jemima spoke with Dr Henry Kha who is a family law lecturer in the Faculty of Law at UoA. They talked about how domestic violence is responded to in the law, why victim-blaming comments made by the Family Court matter and how these negative patterns will change. If you're ever in need of help for a domesic violence issue, please call Womens Refuge at 0800 733 843 or HELP at (09) 623 1700.

Liv Young believes the answer is no. She created Mental, an online platform where people can share their personal experience. 

She talks to 95bFM producer Lisa Boudet, and explains why she believes it can help take down the taboo that still surrounds mental health in Aotearoa.

New Zealand chicken is making people sick, according to Otago University researchers, who are calling for safety labels.

The study shows that Aotearoa has one of the highest rate of campylobacteriosis, and that is due to consumers not being aware of the prevalence of the contaminating bacteria in 60 to 90 percent of raw chicken. 

95bFM producer Ben Webber asks one of the authors of the research, Otago University research Professor Michael Baker, what this bacteria is, and how to avoid contamination.
