Like Mandy Nolan, I was sick in the pit of my stomach when I heard of the senseless death of Lindy Lucena. Robert Karl Huber, her partner, has been charged by the police.
It was a shocking start to 2023. I don’t understand why men are so angry and take their anger out on intimate partners or children. I don’t understand why AVOs betray victims. I don’t understand why the system fails to support people at risk of family violence.
I wish the Rotary Club of Ballina on Richmond every success in achieving a positive outcome for their core mission to halt family violence.
