Thank Angela and the Womens CouncilAcknowledge traditional ownersAcknowledge feminists who have fought for this issue to be taken up and the continuing work of womens activists and services to ensure that the issue continues to get traction.Acknowledge that we wouldnt be here without feminism and feminists reference to Kitty Flanagans response to campaign that feminism is not needed.Hands up who heard my presentation last year?Apologies that you may hear some of the same information again.This presentation provides an overview of the agenda in SA that began in 2005 and was recommitted to with the release of ARTS in 2011.Importantly this agenda is located within a broader context of addressing gender inequity which is articulated in ARTS and positioned within ARTS in the primary prevention area of work.This is particularly important given the challenges that we are experiencing due to the increasingly conservative agenda nationally.Its also important for us in SA as we are celebrating 120 years of womens suffrage this year and are reflecting on the continuing struggle to ensure women can participate politically, socially and economically in our community.

9Role involves researching and investigating open and closed matters related to domestic violence

Works as part of the Coroners Office team

Aims to identify systemic improvements and facilitate inter-agency approaches to assist in the prevention of deaths which occur within a family or domestic violence context

As at 30 June 2014 this position has conducted file reviews or investigations on over 100 homicide, suicide and multiple fatality deaths reported to the Coroner.

These reviews have contributed to four Coronial Inquests which have a specific domestic violence context, resulting in a total of 30 Coronial recommendations aimed at improving domestic violence responses in South Australia. 2011 Senior Research Officer (Domestic Violence) in the Coroners Office

As Heidi is not here shes involved in another inquest at present I will try to do this justice

This position has been crucial in shining a light on system issues and agency practice it is not about blame but about improvement however as you will see when I get to the final one some responsibility needs to be borne and has been acknowledged by out police.Word of caution due to the sensitivity of the information 10INQUEST # 1: Deaths of Robin Hayward and Edwin Durance 2012Internal and Inter-agency Case Management of High Risk

What was also considered was the mechanisms currently in place in SA, namely the Family Safety Framework and the management of high risk and current information sharing requirements of SA agencies.15INQUEST # 3: Death of Shane ROBINSONDisclosures of domestic violence and appropriate responses, investigation of and information sharing. Call for pro-active agency responses to disclosures16

The Coroner found that there were opportunities to intervene in the management of Mr Robinson in a way that might have prevented the events culminating in his death, thus saving not only his life but the serious sexual assault of an elderly lady and the serious stabbing wounding of a member of the police forceThis course of event is dealing with a repeat, seriously violent, high risk offender and parolee. There were obvious points of intervention drawn out by the inquest:Corrections management of the breeches of Parole and notifying the Parole BoardANCOR management of a known sex offender who was also known to be residing in a house with four girls under 18 years of age and seeing this a not ideal and also considering the option of making a child protection reportThe response by the DCS staff to the allegation of serious domestic assault on the 2 June 2009 and the subsequent response by SAPOL call centre to the report made by corrections.17What is known about Mr Robinson and the incident at the time of reporting to the police:known child sex offender (2 separate occasions of aggravated USI with young teenage female victims)Known violent offender 2002 involved in a siege holding a knife to the throat of a 17 boy as hostage/ shield, resulted in STAR officers shooting the hostage through the shoulder and into Mr Robinsons neck in order to end the siege2007/2008 committed further larceny and resisting arrest + serious criminal trespass another siege ensued this time without hostagesHe is paroled to his partners address, she has four teenage daughters living there also He was arrested on a Parole Board Warrant in October 2008 for not attending programs / not reporting appropriately to corrections / returning urinalysis positive for cannabis he was released on 25 November 2008In January and March 2009 he was convicted for his offending the previous year but time served negated a further custodial sentence he remains on paroleFrom March to June 2009 he continues to not attend programs/ sporadically report to corrections/returns positive urinalysis2 June 2009, his partner contacts Correctional Officer and reports that the previous evening he forced his way into her house after she had locked him out/ assaulted her and tried to strangle her, she is not allowing him to reside with her anymore and she is fearful of him.5 June, Robinson calls parole officer and says he is living with his partner again.9 June he reports for supervision again saying he is living with his partner9 June, Corrections visit partner to check on her welfare shes not home10 June, partner calls to say hes living there and shes happy about thatJune 19, he fails to reportJune 22 CIB contact Corrections as they want to speak to Robinson in relation to some criminal trespass matter they also state that his partner says they are not in a relationship anymore and he is not residing there.This information triggers a Parole Board Warrant issued on 23 JuneThere after police try to locate him but are unable to until the events unfold on July 9 2009.Shane Robinson was evading arrest by police for parole violations when he stabbed a police officer on the Barrier Highway, broke into an isolated farm house occupied by an elderly woman. He sexually assaulted her a number of times. At this stage the police were alerted to his whereabouts and a siege situation ensued. Mr Robinson then used the womans gun to kill himself. This Inquest was mandatory as the death was considered a death in custody due to the siege being played out at time of death.On the surface it involves a suicide and there are not a relationship between the deceased and his immediate victim/s.

What part did responding to a domestic violence allegation, made one month prior, have in the potential to alter the circumstances of the offending and death?

[1 minute 23 second break]SAPOL: Follow up, I have just had a chat with my Sergeant do you actually have a phone number for her where she can be contacted:?DCS: YesSAPOL: Right, if she doesnt wish to take it any further though we cant make her.DCS: No thats fine, we are fully aware of that we just thought that because shes stated that shes um been assaulted last night and he broke into her property to assault her that obviously its still a police matter.SAPOL: Yes but we cant, but yeah, but we cant make her say that has happenedDCS: NoEXCHANGE TELEPHONE NUMBER AND NAMESAPOL: Ok then, DCS: Thanks you, bye

18I want to play 3 pieces of evidence that result in findings by the State Coroner Play audio 1I am reading this piece of the evidence as the audio contains the victims nameRead out wordsPlay audio 2Its not surprising that the state coroner found that: the call to the SAPOL Call centre by Corrections was an inadequate response to information received particularly the attempted strangulation as a high risk factor. . ..This suggests a need for further trainingThe approach taken by the Call Centre when Corrections reported the allegations of domestic violence against Mr Robinson was an occasion on which events had the potential to take a different course..The failure by anyone at SAPOL call centre to bother to inquire about the identity of the perpetrator of domestic violence allegation is profoundly disturbing.It shows a narrow focus on the immediate task and get rid of a problem with minimum effort.Relevant recsThat the Commissioner of Police ensure that all SAPOL call centre staffand officers should have specific and regular skills training and procedural updates to ensure they have a working knowledge of appropriate responses and theirobligations relating to disclosures of domestic violence.Call centre staff who are administrative officers (not members of the police force) should not be allowed to make cold calls to victims of domestic violence. Such contacts should only be made by phone by appropriately trained police officers.That the Minister for Correctional Services ensures Community Corrections Staff are specifically trained in and cognisant of procedures relating to the disclosure of domestic violenceoffending by victims. This should include the ability to conduct standard risk assessment and effect relevant referrals including to a Family Safety Framework meeting where high risk is identified.

INQUEST # 4: Death of Zahra AbrahimzadehFailures on the part of police, need for oversight and police to follow policies and procedures

19The most recent inquest to have findings deliveredOn 21 March 2010, Zarah Abrahimzadeh (ay-bra-HIM-zah-day) was attending a Persian New Year celebration at the Adelaide Convention Centre with her daughter, her sons girlfriend and 300 other attendees. Her estranged husband, Ziaollah (Zee-oh-la), also attended the event and brutally stabbed her resulting in her dying of those injuries on the 22 March 2010. A Domestic Violence Restraining Order was varied the week before which allowed Mr Abrahimzadeh (ay-bra-HIM-zah-day) to attend cultural events.Ziaollah (Zee-oh-la) was arrested at the scene and subsequently charged and convicted of the murder on 19 April 2012. He was sentenced to life imprisonment with a non-parole period of 26 years.Both the Supreme Court and the Coroners Court established that the Zarah Abrahimzadeh (ay-bra-HIM-zah-day) and her 3 children had suffered many years of domestic violence at the hands of Ziaollah (Zee-oh-la).On 12February 2009 (some 13 months before Zahras death) Ziaolleh (Zee-oh-la) assaulted Zahra and her adult daughter, Atena, and threatened to kill both Zahra and the three children. Following that episode of violence, Zahra decided with her elder children that she and they would leave Ziaolleh (Zee-oh-la) and the family house and seek refuge elsewhere. Between 23 February 2009 and the murder of Zahra by her husband on 22 March 2010, Ziaolleh was never arrested or reported by police for the offences he was alleged to have committed on 12 February 2009.Evidence of the families contact with police across that time was heard and in the findings released on the 7 July 2014, The State Coroner found that there were many instances of system failure by the South Australian Police.The State Coroner made 10 recommendations for system improvement and directed these recommendations to the Premier to oversee.

all aspects of domestic violence policing be characterised by a sense of curiosity, questioning and listening. Risk assessment must be actually applied, not merely recited as a mantra;SAPOL Criminal Justice Section be staffed by legal practitioners so that domestic violence restraining orders can be properly presented before magistrates;all domestic violence calls to the SAPOL call centre are handled by sworn police officers with particular training in domestic violence risk assessment;domestic violence training that cadets receive at the Police Academy from external domestic violence agencies occupy at least one day, rather than the half day that it has been reduced to;domestic violence safe houses be flagged with police communications in order to ensure consistency of approach when a response to an incident or report is made;

20prosecutors appearing in domestic violence matters must, as a matter of course, seek out all available information about the longitudinal history of the domestic violence offending, particularly from Family Court documents if those exist;prosecutors appearing in domestic violence matters must, as a matter of course, establish the outcome of the offence PIRs underlying the application;that police officers do not ask domestic violence complainants whether they still wish to proceed unless there is some communication from the complainant that justifies such an enquiry;when a domestic violence victim makes a report at a police station, they are afforded an opportunity of privacy in an interview room;Priority A taskings should remain higher in priority than later, lower priority taskings.

Significant work is occurring to not only respond to these recommendation but to ensure transparency of these responses.The Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner have acknowledged the need for cultural change and are working with us and DPC.Arman and Atena, Zahras 2 eldest children are strongly involved in advocacy work, Arman is a white ribbon ambassador and Atena has begun speaking publicly I at vigils and schools about domestic violence.

Of course this work does not end here as I said Heidi is involved in a current inquest related to DV and cases where there is a child abuse and dv context are being considered.

Key things to highlight is the connections of this work to the overall agenda, and the role of the position to build the capacity of the Coronial process to identify dv and to investigate it thoroughly.

Robinson is a particular example where dv would not have been picked up if not for this position.21Leadership

2012 Violence against Women Collaborations Gender Equity

Preventing violence against women requires changes in culture, society and social norms and involves everyone. It requires changes in the way we view women and how we understand violence against women. It requires all of us to respond to the everyday sexist comments we here.For example comments such as she was asking for it by wearing those clothes or why doesnt she just leave are victim blaming and often lead to women blaming themselves for the crimes committed against them, feeling isolated and reluctant to access support services or report the crime. Increasing womens participation in leadership, celebrating the participation of women in out community, ensuring women have economic independence through well paid, safe and secure employment and redressing the impact of past discriminatory practices exemplified in the womens access to super data is what this area of work is about.

Additionally, 27% of fathers and partners surveyed reported discrimination relating to parental leave and return to work.The cost of this discrimination is borne not only by the person affected but also by their family, their workplace, employers and the national economy.Types of reported discrimination ranged from negative attitudes and comments from colleagues and managers, to loss of opportunities for further training and career advancement; reductions in pay and conditions; and redundancy or job loss.Employees experience significant short- and long-term negative impacts which result from discrimination including effects on mental and physical health, effects on long-term career advancement and effects on earning capacity with some groups such as sole parents or single mothers placed particularly at risk.This discrimination was also found to have a distinct impact on womens workforce participation. The survey found that 32% of mothers who were discriminated against sought other employment or resigned from their positions. Also, 18% of mothers indicated that they were made redundant or had their jobs restructured; were dismissed or their contract was not renewed when they were pregnant, when they requested/took parental leave, or when they returned to work. This contributes to womens under-participation in or withdrawal from the workforce. Contrary to expectations, discrimination was found to be more prevalent in larger organisations (over 100 employees). Results showed that 36% of mothers who worked in large organisations reported experiencing discrimination upon requesting leave compared to 26% of mothers in small organisations (less than 20 employees) and 27% of mothers in medium sized organisations (20-99 employees).
