Authors:	Page, Stephen
Keywords:	Protection orders;Legislation analysis;Legal issues
Year:	2003
Notes:	Describes the history of the Act and the impetus for its development before setting out key amendments that have been made to how terms such as ‘domestic violence’, ‘spouse’, ‘de facto partner’ and ‘intimate personal relationship’ are defined, who is covered by the Act and specific provisions relating to weapons, witnesses and children. Essentially the changes broaden the scope for persons affected by domestic violence, in its various forms, to seek legal recourse and attempt to clarify previously contentious areas. A hypothetical example of how the new legislation might operate is also provided.
