Aggie Di Mauro

When this happened to Celeste, there was a report on Occurrent Affairs that in Tasmania they had trialled ankle bracelets and electronic monitoring, and they found that for the offence of stalking, stalking had decreased by 100%.

100% for those that were being electronically monitored.

So, you know, I remember raising that at the time with the Secretary of the Department of Justice.

And, of course, what am I told?

And this is another thing, sick and tired of the smoke mirrors.

Oh, Aggie, that's, you know, they're just saying that.

They're not really working, though.

Before they go into custody.

Exactly.

You mentioned Hannah Clark.

I still recall the afternoon that Celeste walked home from work.

It was something like four o'clock in the afternoon and she found me in tears because I was watching the news where they were reporting Hannah Clark and her children.

And I was devastated.

And she's come in seeing me like that and she sat down and she's following the news herself and she's really upset by it.

And I see her get emotional.

We had no idea that just a few months later it would be her.

You know, in Hannah Clarke's case, it was an ex-partner.

In Celeste's case...

You just, we had no idea.

Again, you know, how many times do we hear the comment, if it saves one person?
