New laws promised by DHA
An MLC says the Island is way behind other jurisdictions on legislation surrounding domestic abuse.
In Tynwald yesterday (Tues 17), Home Affairs Minister Bill Malarkey confirmed there'll be a public consultation on two new bills relating to domestic violence.
It follows the campaigns of local charity Safe Strong Secure, pushing for changes to the law on the Island.
And Kate Lord Brennan says it's not before time:
Public sector NDAs only confidential between involved parties, says solicitor for AGC
Local authorities' power to block street light installation 'bonkers'
Freight company's storage and distribution centre plans approved
