Momentum building for Clare's law to be introduced in NSW

Momentum appears to be growing in NSW to introduce a domestic violence disclosure scheme, also known as Clare’s law. It was enacted in the UK 10 years ago, allowing individuals to find out if their current or former partner has a history of violent offending. The law was promised by the previous NSW state government two years ago - but nothing has happened since. A petition to implement it has now attracted almost 20-thousand signatures. Domestic violence advocate Jo Cooper has been campaigning on social media but says the backlash against it has been immense.
