In one state, on one weekend, the horror and the extent of domestic and family violence was laid bare.
And we learnt again that no age group and no suburb is immune.
Three women killed in just 24 hours, allegedly all by men known to them: a grandson, a son and a partner. And then on Sunday afternoon, a 5 year old boy killed, his siblings in a critical condition, and their mother the only suspect, in hospital with what police allege are self inflicted stab wounds.
These are tough stories to share, but we must not be numb and we must keep sharing them while advocating for everything to be done to address the issue.
Elsewhere today, we’re exploring dementia. Women make up the majority of dementia patients in Australia, and the majority of those caring for loved ones with dementia. One issue? The fact diagnosis can take years.
Are girls actually getting their periods younger? And is there anything that can be done? Should anything be done? Researchers Jodie Avery and Shae Maple share this piece.
We know women founders face a scaling cliff. So what more can women building businesses do? Here are six tips.

The devastating deaths reported across NSW this weekend are a reminder that women of every age are being killed in violence happening in homes and communities across our country.

The amount of bees that have been stolen from across Far Northern Queensland. The alleged thefts happened on multiple different properties in different areas and required a sophisticated operation and specialist equipment. Rather than risking early detection by stealing an entire box, they took out what’s known as the brood box, meaning the hive appears the same from a distance. The apiarists will lose not just the stolen insects but the value of the pollination contracts, which can run into the thousands of dollars, and local growers will also lose out due to lower quality flowering.

More than 300 specialist workers have now been recruited by the Department of Communities and Justice to accompany children on supervised family visits. This ‘Family Time’ helps kids build connections with their birth families, and eases the impact of separation. Parents and children will now be catching up at "beautiful venues" like parks or ice-skating rinks to create "positive memories", and this is possible due to these new DVNSW hires.
