Wavelength: Domestic Violence increase, Family law & the SA Museum

Wavelength

Welcome back to Wavelength, Sparking the convos about Adelaide you should be having!

Cass and Grace are back taking you through a MASSIVE episode this week so strap in and get ready!

Recent statistics show a harrowing story, domestic violence has increased 30% since 2022, and 33 women have died at the hands of intimate partners. This story deserves attention and action. This week Izzy talks with Mary Leaker the general manager of Embolden SA’s peak body for domestic, family and sexual violence services about this topic to find out more.

Later on, we discuss the recent labour government proposal to get rid of the research wing of the SA museum which would decrease their workforce by 27 people and get rid of popular exhibits such as the Mammal Exhibition. Opposition leader David Spiers comes into the studio to discuss his concerns about this decision, and Liz also speaks with Michael Mills an educator/performer with 20 years of experience with the South Australian Museum.

But wait, there's more! Ella discusses the upcoming changes to family law in South Australia, effective May 6th, impacting numerous individuals. And if that wasn't exciting enough, Cass shares a roundup of all the positive happenings in this week's 'Heaps Good News' segment.
