| dc.description.notes | Summarises some of the major changes to Western Australia’s laws brought about by the introduction of the <I>Acts Amendment (Family and Domestic Violence) Act 2004</i> which was proclaimed on December 1, 2004. Resulting from a review of restraining orders and other domestic violence-related legislation, the Act broadens the definition of ‘family and domestic relationship’ and expands the grounds for obtaining a violence restraining order (VRO). It also allows a new ground for obtaining a VRO for a child where there is a family and domestic relationship, removes the consent defence to a breach of a restraining order, and obliges the police to investigate acts of domestic violence where personal safety is at risk. Penalties for a breach of a VRO have also been increased and changes to the Criminal Code will now result in higher maximum penalties: if the offender is in a domestic relationship with the victim; if a child was present when the offence was committed; or if the victim already had a restraining order against the offender. | en |
