Domestic Violence is at last being addressed in the Douglas Shire with The Regional Domestic Violence Services officially opening their Douglas Shire office in Mossman to show that they are here to provide a safe place to go for victims of domestic violence and for them to seek out support services. These are battered women and terrified kids. The office is on the corner of Mill Street and Junction Road. In the last 12 months, according to Queensland Police Stats 72 domestic violence order applications were made in Mossman and a further 23 applications in Port Douglas during that financial year. These orders were contravened 87 times, an increase of more than 14% on the previous 12-month period. This week our Bard From the Scrub has written a poem about this awful situation.
