Dr Jeni Haynes

She was powerful.

She was determined.

She was the one that just kept pushing.

She was determined.

She phoned the police and she was like, well, you know, what do you need?

Just let me know what you need.

I'll do it.

You know, she fell over and stopped being front runner Christmas of 2018.

We had been promised a large amount of support for the trial that was due for February 2019.

And in the lead up to Christmas, everybody that had promised to be there was phoning us and saying, sorry, we can't make it.

No, these were support workers and support services.

And it was very difficult because we live in Queensland.

We were going to be, to all intents and purposes, alone in Sydney

um dealing with this and we had done everything that we could to get support but you know this is something that is a real issue for survivors is if so i contacted new south wales rape crisis

And I said, I'm coming to court in New South Wales.

I live in Queensland.

Now, the way that the rape crisis was funded, they could only provide support to New South Wales residents.

I couldn't use them because I lived in Queensland.

But the Queensland support agencies, their funding is for abuse that took place in Queensland.

What we need is an acknowledgement that offenders move and they do it quite deliberately because you have to go back to the jurisdiction where it happened if you want justice.
