Domestic, family and sexual violence is an extremely personal issue for me and many Australians.
Having experienced domestic and sexual violence in the past, I felt compelled to write a submission to South Australia's Royal Commission into Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence.
The right to life extends to the right to defend one’s life. In my submission, I offer a unique perspective on the important role self-defence can and should play in the context of any violence.
When an individual violates the non-aggression principle, self-defence by any means necessary should be the legal right of reply.
Self-defence of an individual’s right to life, and the life of our family and property, is not afforded to Australians in any state, with “equal force” laws creating a society where individuals are disadvantaged and forced to rely on the State to protect us.
I am hopeful that I will be invited to appear before the Commission to answer questions and explain why self-defence is the key to solving Australia's domestic, family and sexual violence problem.
