Coercive control laws exist across Australia. So shouldn’t someone whose business model relies on teaching men how to exert coercive control over women be shut down?

“The unvarnished truth is that the real and greatest threat to our kids on Halloween is the automobile. Kids are 3X more likely to be hit by a car on #Halloween than on any other night of the year. By focusing on imagined dangers, communities are failing to take action to actually protect children.”

Opinion: Who hijacked Halloween?

Urban legends abound during Halloween. Some are harmless, but others cause extreme reactions to wholly imaginary dangers.
