Let's start calling family violence 'terrorism' and then maybe we will start to see that investment of funding applied to where it needs to be.

I want to tell people that family violence happens to anybody, no matter how nice your house is, no matter how intelligent you are.

What I want people to take from this is that it isn't simple. People judge you, people tell you what you should do. You do the best you can.

What we have to continue to remind ourselves is that violence is a choice.

I never want anyone to be sitting where I'm sitting and to have lost their son, because I can never get Luke back.

Children have very little voice, and the coroner's inquest is about Luke's voice, and making sure Luke is heard and respected and honoured. I don't want him to have died in vain.

This is about saving children's lives. It is not about agencies and services protecting themselves.

Luke was a little boy in a growing body that felt pain and sadness and fear for his mum, and he always believed he would be safe with his dad.

What we want is to make sure that people don't go through what I'm going through ... and we have to understand that even since Luke's death, children have been killed.

The sudden loss of her father was like living with a wound that would never heal, yet her memories of him were fading more and more every day.

You've got no chance of reaching the top if you're just playing for money.

Most human activities are predicated on the assumption that life goes on. If you take that premise away, what is there left?

Once we know and are aware, we are responsible for our action and our inaction. We can do something about it or ignore it. Either way, we are still responsible.

Shirley Valentine is a beautiful character and so well written. What Shirley speaks and thinks is so logical
