The commission referred to a recent case involving a man facing several court proceedings over alleged violence against women, including the attempted murder of two girls. It said the man had been repeatedly granted bail despite also facing separate proceedings for allegedly breaching previous bail conditions. While acknowledging the principle that every person is presumed innocent until proven guilty, the commission said courts must also consider the rights of alleged victims and others to life, safety and well-being. But with the increased awareness and the increased work from the authorities, must also come an increased emphasis on protecting the victims of domestic violence. This is especially the case with repeat alleged offenders, where there is a track record of alleged violence.
