FED:National protection for abuse victims
A national domestic violence register will be set up to protect abused women and children.
News Ltd says the national register will be introduced next year .. and will allow
police anywhere in the country to quickly identify men who have a history of beating their
partners or children.
It will mean women who flee abusive relationships by moving interstate will no longer
need to apply for a new set of protection orders in the state or territory they live in.
The decision's been taken at a meeting between federal Attorney-General ROBERT MCCLELLAND
and the eight state and territory attorneys-general in Canberra on Friday.
