00:00 The family and friends of Molly Teicest are calling for legislative change to be introduced
00:06 in New South Wales in her name that would ensure authorities know where people who are
00:11 out on bail for domestic violence offences are known to police at all times.
00:16 This comes after the mother was killed last week in an alleged murder in a domestic violence
00:22 case while the alleged offender was out on bail.
00:25 The family is calling for electronic tracking devices to be mandatory when people are out
00:31 on bail for alleged domestic violence offences.
00:34 The family says this would ensure the police know where they are at all times and in Molly's
00:38 case would have prevented her alleged murder.
00:42 In response the New South Wales Police Minister Yasmin Catley said all options are being considered
00:48 when the State Government Cabinet meets on Friday.
00:51 We have three of our experts in domestic violence so obviously Rosie Batty who needs no introduction
00:58 of course.
00:59 We will also have the New South Wales Women's Safety Commissioner, Hena Tonkin will be there
01:04 as well and the Victorian Royal Commissioner will be coming along as well, Miss Neve.
01:10 So we're really looking forward to hearing from them.
01:13 Look everything's on the table but listen to them and they'll obviously provide us with
01:18 some advice.
01:19 This evening the family and friends of Miss Ticehurst are calling for people across the
01:24 country to leave their front porch lights on in memory of Miss Ticehurst and to raise
01:29 awareness about the issue of domestic violence.
01:33 There is also on Mother's Day a walk in Forbes will be held to remember Molly Ticehurst and
01:39 what the mother meant to the community.
