Well, again, when this happened...

The Attorney General at the time asked the Victorian Law Reform Commission to do an inquiry into stalking, the laws around it, as well as the laws or legislation around the Personal Safety Intervention Order.

That inquiry was done.

It took 18 months.

It came up with 45 recommendations.

There were two reports, an interim report and then a final report.

The interim report was recommendations specific for Victoria Police, in which it made, I think it was nine recommendations, which form part of the 45.

So, you know, going back to politicians don't understand it, police don't understand it, but an inquiry was done

And it's allowed them to know where legislation is lacking, what police could be doing differently.

Part of those recommendations makes reference to what they refer to as SASH.

which the former Attorney General in Victoria decided through a 60 Minutes interview that was done just after that beast was sentenced, to say that Victoria Police had responded appropriately to Celeste's murder by trialling the sash pilot, which at that point she still couldn't say where it was at.

They've trialled it.

We know nothing else.

The SASH pilot is basically, let's call it a screening tool.

It's a questionnaire, among other things that they will delve into, but it's a questionnaire that allows police to categorise the level of risk that an offender poses, a stalker poses.

And depending on that level of risk, they'll categorise him low, medium or high risk.

When I was taken through the pilot and what it meant, that's as far as they got at the time.

This was at the end of, this was December of 2022.

They still had to do stage two and stage three and some sort of evaluation, which I was supposed to be kept informed with, never happened.

I have been following up on that every six months, still know nothing.
